The problems of sustainable development, conditioned upon the advantageous economic growth rates and decreasng environmental pollution, were examined. The relation between per capita income and pollutions of atmosphere is modeled and - in accordance with the theory of economy of nature management - is shaped in the form of inversed U letter. At first, pollution grows together with increasing income but after certain income level is reached it begins to fall. It turns out that the economic growth, accompanied by the diminishing pressure on environment, will follow at that stage the principles of sustainable development. Results of modeling and conditions of bettering the quallity of the air-pool in Ukraine are presented.
