In this paper, we tried to investigate the situation of the energy consumption increase and its influence on the environment as a result of the economic development of Shanghai. The increase of energy consumption associated with mass production and mass consumption in order to improve the quality of human life is inevitable. But we have to exert the power to change the energy structure and improve the exhaust processing in order to conserve the environment. Observing the characteristics of energy consumption in Shanghai, the air pollution problem is caused mainly by the burning of coal and petroleum. We have found that the density of SOx and TSP in the atmosphere is decreasing year by year because the Shanghai government is trying to adjust the industrial structure and energy consumption. The density of Nox, however, is increasing gradually because of an increase in automobile ownership.
