Abstract: Background: In the past two decades, the struggle for economic growth in many countries has been a notable aspect and through this struggle, the price to pay has been the environment whereby environmental degradation through air pollution has been increasing from the mid-20th century up to date. Many studies have been carried out to examine the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation, not forgetting factors that lead to both environmental degradation as well as economic growth. However, there is a lack of extensive research in Kenya. Thus, the present study examines the causal nexus and impulse responses between carbon dioxide emission, gross domestic product per capita, industrialization, and population in Kenya.
