“…29 long-distance secondary impacts (Lin et al, 2014;Nagashima et al, 2017). The supply chain paths around agriculture in China were found to have the greatest health impact in terms of PM 2.5 (Nagashima et al, 2017), and this study on Beijing revealed the high importance of food-related industries across the supply chains for SO 2 pollution. China and Japan are the near neighbors with deep economic ties, who have mutual incentive to accelerate international cooperation to improve regional air quality.…”

Inter-regional spillover of air pollution can be regarded as a mixture of economic externalities and long-distance transport. To comprehensively reveal this problem, a new consumption-based sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emission inventory in 2010 for 30 provincial regions of China was compiled by introducing source-receptor relationship (SRR) model to integrate the spillover impacts of physical transport from emitter (producer) region to receptor region and virtual transfer from driver (consumer) region to emitter region. Compared the emissions induced by final regional demand with the emissions received in seven regions of China, Southern (0.59 Mt), Northern (0.25 Mt), Northwestern (0.18 Mt) and Eastern (0.14 Mt) areas outsourced SO 2 pollution in the mass, whereas Central (-0.66 Mt), Northeastern (-0.42 Mt) and Southwestern (-0.08 Mt) areas took excessive environmental burdens in 2010. The four municipalities, Chongqing, Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin as well as the most affluent province Guangdong showed significant pollution transfer after an overall assessment of their roles in drivers, emitters and receptors. Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Henan and Shandongshowed the largest co-benefits of SO 2 emissions control for climate change mitigation. Japan was found to receive more portions of transboundary SO 2 deposition than its market shares in China's export instead of other major trade partners of China. As a mega-city, Beijing induced significant SO 2 emissions for power requirement, food consumption, miscellaneous services and her vibrant research activities through the sectors of power industry, coal mining, chemical manufacturing, food-related industries, petroleum processing and coking, but 86% of those emissions were outsourced by Beijing.In total, the spillover of SO 2 emissions induced by Beijing was estimated at 0.20 Mt, 76 times more than its own share as a receptor across the supply chains. This study is competent for an analytic framework of strategic planning for joint prevention and control of air pollution in China and other countries. The results can help reduce pollution transfer, properly tax on drivers, effectively control the emitters, and reasonably compensate the receptors. Highlights• New consumption-based accounting of China's SO 2 emissions to include physical transfer • Chongqing, Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin and Guangdong showed significant pollution transfer • The spillover of SO 2 emissions by Beijing's final demand was 76 times more than its own share • Japan received excessive transboundary SO 2 deposition than its market shares in China's export • Data-driven planning of regional compensation and cooperation is highly recommended

“…In addition, considerable PM 2.5 emissions in emerging economies have been linked to consumers worldwide. [13][14][15] These transboundary air pollutants are associated with shifting air pollution and health impacts and the climate forcing of aerosols. [16][17][18] Thus, quantifying the underlying socioeconomic factors that affect emissions (driven by both local and foreign consumption) throughout the global supply chain is crucial for targeting clean-up efforts to reduce global and regional PM 2.5 emissions and alleviate trade-related climate and health impacts.…”

“…The atmospheric transport of air pollutants from the emitters to polluted regions and the virtual transfer from final consumers to emitters both are part of the supply chain. 27 Few studies have linked the final consumers to those who ultimately suffer from except two studies on Eastern Asia 28,29 . This lack may impede progress towards international cooperation on air pollutant mitigation involving various parties through the supply chain.…”

Air pollution, a threat to air quality and human health, has attracted ever-increasing attention in recent years. In addition to having local influence, air pollutants can also travel the globe via atmospheric circulation and international trade. Black carbon (BC), emitted from incomplete combustion, is a unique but representative particulate pollutant. This study tracked down the BC aerosol and its direct radiative forcing to the emission sources and final consumers using the global chemical transport model (MOZART-4), the rapid radiative transfer model for general circulation simulations (RRTM), and a multiregional input-output analysis (MRIO). BC was physically transported (i.e., atmospheric transport) from western to eastern countries in the midlatitude westerlies, but its magnitude is near an order of magnitude higher if the virtual flow embodied in international trade is considered. The transboundary effects on East and South Asia by other regions increased from about 3% (physical transport only) to 10% when considering both physical and virtual transport. The influence efficiency on East Asia was also large because of the comparatively large emission intensity and emission-intensive exports (e.g., machinery and equipment). The radiative forcing in Africa imposed by consumption from Europe, North America, and East Asia (0.01 Wm) was even larger than the total forcing in North America. Understanding the supply chain and incorporating both atmospheric and virtual transport may improve multilateral cooperation on air pollutant mitigation both domestically and internationally.
