The study indicators the four environmental effects caused by exporting trade influence environment of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou in different way. Elasticity of income effect and scale effect of have more significant impact on the quality of the environment, increase in per capita income can significantly improve the environmental quality of Shanghai, expansion of economy will significantly deteriorate the atmospheric environment, elasticity of technology effect, structural effect is relatively small, the technology effect will improve the quality of water environment, export growth will improve he quality of water environment in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou. Finally, based on empirical research of the impact of export trade to the environment of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, policy proposals were advanced from the perspective of government and enterprises.
