Abstract Based on the data of 287 cities in China, a comprehensive index reflecting the level of city agglomeration was built with MIMIC model and the influence of agglomeration on three kinds of pollutants in difference levels was analyzed using the method of generalized propensity score (GPS). It is concluded that different agglomeration levels played different roles in the three pollutants and some transition points existed. The causal effect of agglomeration on SO2 presented an inverted “U” shape, while the effect on industrial waste water and industrial dust presented a “S” shape. When the agglomeration level is less than 0.2, it promoted SO2 emission; When agglomeration level is bigger than 0.34, it inhibited SO2 emission. When agglomeration level is less than 0.18, it inhibited both industrial waste water and industrial dust emissions,After agglomeration level reached 0.18, agglomeration significantly promoted the two emissions.
