Abstract

With the development of economy, China has become one of the largest exploitation and utilization of mineral resources in the world. The exploitation and utilization of mineral resources also bring great destruction to the ecological environment while effectively supporting the rapid development of China's economic society. How to avoid the environmental impact caused by the exploitation and utilization of mineral resources is an important breakthrough in the construction of ecological civilization in China. This paper USES the panel data model, from the industrial structure, technological progress and the government management three dimensions of theoretical analysis and empirical test, inspected the China environmental impacts of exploitation and utilization of mineral resources. The results show that the environmental pollution of China's mineral resources exploitation and utilization has obvious effect on the environmental impact of the current period. For different kinds of mineral resources, the environmental impact of energy and mineral exploitation and utilization is the largest, and the metal mineral is second. At the same time, in the development and utilization of mineral resources in the process of the formation of the environmental impact of industrial structure is the important cause of environmental pollution, and advances in technology have a positive effect in the control environmental pollution. In terms of government management, government management in the eastern region has a strong inhibitory effect on environmental pollution, while the effect in the central and western regions is not obvious.
