摘　　要：大气细颗粒物污染(PM2.5)已经成为世界上主要的环境问题之一。本文试图通过政治经济学、生态现代化理论和世界体系理论等分析框架,在世界范围内解释细颗粒物污染现象的影响机制。对114个国家的分析结果表明,生态现代化理论对细颗粒物污染的解释得到较好的支持,PM2.5问题随着现代化进程的深入得到有效治理,其中城市化水平和PM2.5质量浓度呈倒U型曲线关系,国家科技水平和政府环境治理程度的提高都会显著降低PM2.5质量浓度。政治经济学理论强调的经济发展对环境的线性负面影响没有得到支持。研究还发现对细颗粒物浓度的环境风险转移确实在世界范围内存在,世界体系理论得到部分支持。The fine particulate matter （PM2.5） pollution is one of the major environmental problems in the world. Based on the theoretical frameworks of political economy, ecological modernization, and world systems, this paper explains how societal factors influence PM2.5 using data from 114 countries. The overall findings support the ecological modernization theory. The level of PM2.5 substantially decreases with the progress of modernization. More specifically, the relationship between urbanization and PM2.5 takes an inverted U-shaped form. Science, technology and environmental governance all contribute to the decline of PM2.5. The findings also contradict the claims of political economists that economic develop- ment has a linear effect on environmental degradation. The author also finds evidence for the transfer of environmental risk worldwide and world systems theory is partially supported.
