Abstract
In this paper, the human capital is divided into two kinds of types: heterogeneous human capital and coessential human capital, and the environmental impact mechanism of FDI in different human capital is studied by using the panel data from 1999 to 2012. The research shows that, in general, the FDI investment will not produce pollution effect on the environment; but in fact, it is the heterogeneous human capital in the human capital, which leads to the emission reduction effect of FDI. In contrast, FDI investment in high homogeneous human capital will lead to environmental degradation.

Do not lend support to “pollution haven hypothesis” He [4] was directly to the opposite point of view: because of foreign technology and the higher efficiency of energy use, the technical spillover effect of foreign enterprises improved the host country environmental protection technology, so as to improve the host country’s environment quality. In order to study the problem of China, the paper briefly describes the main research results of Chinese and foreign scholars in this field, and the research ideas of this paper are drawn from these studies
