Environmental problems have become a polemical issue to achieve higher economic growth rate. In this research, the effects of financial development and trade are tested on environmental quality.

Then the threshold of income and environmental emission have predicted. The results show that financial development increase the degradation of the environment and the increase in trade openness reduce the degradation of the environment and Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis is approved in Iran.
