    The influence of income inequality on air quality is a multifaceted matter that involves society, economy, and the environment. Although the inland region of China has achieved rapid economic development and fully utilized their abundant natural resources, it has also been accompanied by widening income disparities and environmental pollution issues. Especially the frequent occurrence of haze and sandstorms poses serious challenges to the sustainable development and residents’ lives in inland areas. To gain a deeper understanding of this issue, this paper is based on panel data from 20 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions in the inland region from 2006 to 2020 and uses the pooled Ordinary Least Squares regression (POLS) to conduct an in-depth analysis of the repercussions of income inequality on air quality. By studying the relationship between the two, this paper aims to provide policy makers with scientific and reasonable policy recommendations, better balance income distribution differences and environmental governance, and attain a sustainable and robust development of the economy and environment in inland areas.
