Environmental pollution has become an increasingly severe problem in recent years and has aroused extensive concern. However, the influences of environmental factors on human well-being, especially their internal paths and causality, have received little research. Using cross-sectional data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) for 2016, together with data on air, water, and solid waste pollution, this study explored the critical paths and causality of the influences of objective (actual) and subjective (perceived) pollution on perceptions of well-being. Perceived pollution had both direct and indirect negative impacts on well-being. Actual pollution indirectly affected well-being by influencing perceptions of health and pollution, but had no direct influence on well-being. Air pollution had a positive association with depression and a negative association with life satisfaction and happiness, while water and solid waste pollution had negligible associations with well-being. The negative impacts of both real and perceived pollution on health are the main ways in which pollution decreases well-being.
近年来，环境污染已成为一个日益严峻的问题，并引起了广泛关注。然而，环境因素对人类福祉的影响，尤其是其内在路径和因果关系，却鲜有研究。本研究利用2016年中国家庭追踪调查（CFPS）的横截面数据，以及空气、水和固体废物污染的数据，探讨了客观（实际）污染和主观（感知）污染对幸福感认知影响的关键路径和因果关系。感知污染对幸福感有直接和间接的负面影响。实际污染通过影响对健康和污染的认知间接影响幸福感，但对幸福感没有直接影响。空气污染与抑郁呈正相关，与生活满意度和幸福感呈负相关，而水和固体废物污染与幸福感的关联可忽略不计。实际污染和感知污染对健康的负面影响是污染降低幸福感的主要方式。
