The rapid industrial development in recent years in Henan Province, China, has caused relatively serious environmental pollution. Increasing energy saving and emission reduction efficiency and controlling industrial pollution play an important role in strengthening environmental protection and improving people's living standards. To further analyse the industrial pollution status in Henan Province, estimate the industrial emission reduction efficiency, and propose specific industrial pollution control measures, the current situations and problems of industrial pollution in Henan Province were analysed, and an evaluation index system of industrial emission reduction efficiency was established based on related statistical data on environmental pollutants in China's Statistical Yearbook on Environment from 2000 to 2014. The energy saving and emission reduction efficiency and the slack variables of input output were estimated by using the DEA-CCR (Data Envelope Analysis) model. Results demonstrated that the discharge of industrial waste gas and industrial wastewater in Henan province showed a rising trend, and the amount of industrial dust emissions and industrial soot emissions were reduced to a great extent. The comprehensive efficiency of DEA-CCR model in 11 years is effective for DEA, and the scale efficiency and comprehensive efficiency are not optimal in the 2000 and 2001. The emission reduction efficiency of industrial pollutants did not reach technical and scale efficiencies in 2006 and 2011. With respect to input indexes, investments in the management of exhaust, wastewater, and other pollutants in 2006 were underused. All five input indexes were underused in 2007. For output indexes, exhaust emission did not reach the effective output in 2006, and the exhaust and wastewater emissions failed to reach the effective output in 2007. The results obtained in this study have important practical significance and theoretical references for comprehending the industrial pollution status and increasing the emission reduction efficiency in China.Keywords
