The aim of the article is to present a special model of emission changes compared to changes in the economic performance of EU countries. Because the expansion of international economic activity is associated with industrial structure and energy demands, governments must reexamine their policies that affect these urgent issues in the effort to achieve low air pollutants. The article deals with the relationship of GDP per capita and NOx emissions per capita. Within the examination of the growth or decline in NOx emissions per capita were compared 28 EU countries. Worse situation occurs when the growth of GDP per capita is increasing simultaneously with the share of emissions per capita. If the growth rate of GDP per capita is equal to the growth rate of emissions per capita, the situation does not develop neither positive nor negative, because the growth rate is the same for GDP as well as for emissions. Alarming situation can occur if the GDP growth rate is slower than the growth rate of emissions. The fact that the growth of GDP per capita cannot necessarily lead to a significant increase of air pollution per capita. To model the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation we used quantile regression.
