China actively broadens its channels for environmental protection and limits pollutant emissions through industrial structure adjustment technical progress. Based on panel data of 30 provinces in from 2003 to 2017, this study investigated the effects progress pollution using spatial Dubin models. The findings show following. (1) As economy develops, situation various regions deteriorates; moreover, spatio-temporal dependence is an aspect pollution. (2) Industrial are beneficial improvement. Furthermore, there spillover factors such as varying degrees. Thus, suggests that path coupling between should be explored establish a filtering mechanism, thereby improving quality.
