Abstract: In this study, using methods of emission coefficient, we measured the total pollutant emissions of livestock manure and rural life, which are important non-point source pollution source in agriculture, in zhejiang province from 1990 to 2009. We investigated the relationship between rural net income and rural environmental quality of zhejiang province with the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model. The results shows that there is no significant relationship between rural pollution and per capita net income of rural residents in zhejiang province, which means it doesn’t well agree with EKC curve. Other factors may have a great influence on relationship of them. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
