Abstract: In recent years, the severity of haze has had negative impact on public life to varied degrees. Through the corpus analysis and processing of the data collected from the microblog platform, correlation test, co integration test and Granger causality test are used to explore the relationship between public emotion and risk perception. The results show that sadness, fear and disgust, at the 1% significance level, can effectively predict the environmental risk perception in lag 2. The public's concern about haze can also effectively predict the environmental risk perception in lag 2, but the public's positive emotion cannot predict the environmental risk perception.

Key words: public emotion, haze, risk perception, microblog
