The pollution footprint analysis of international trade of Chinese industrial products

From the concept of pollution footprint, utilizing the official statistical data and the input-output analysis technique to analyze the pollution state of Chinese each industrial sector and to account the pollution cost and benefit of international trade of Chinese industrial products in the years 1994~2001, finding that the pollution intensity of exports was smaller than that of imports of Chinese industrial products. China transferred actually the pollution footprint overseas although there existed a trade surplus in industrial products in the years of 1999~2001; the net imports of chemical industry helped the transfer of most pollution footprint in China; the inflow of pollution footprint came mainly from the net exports of the textile and machinery industries.
