Abstract: Worldwide exposure to ambient PM 2.5 causes over 4 million premature deaths annually. As most of these deaths are in developing countries, without internationally coordinated efforts this polarized situation will continue. As yet, however, no studies have quantified nation-to-nation consumer responsibility for global mortality due to both primary and secondary PM 2.5 particles. Here we quantify the global footprint of PM 2.5 -driven premature deaths for the 19 G20 nations in a position to lead such efforts. G20 consumption in 2010 was responsible for 1.983 [95% Confidence Interval: 1.685–2.285] million premature deaths, at an average age of 67, including 78.6 [71.5–84.8] thousand infant deaths, implying that the G20 lifetime consumption of about 28 [24–33] people claims one life. Our results indicate that G20 nations should take responsibility for their footprint rather than focusing solely on transboundary air pollution, as this would expand opportunities for reducing PM 2.5 -driven premature mortality. Given the infant mortality footprint identified, it would moreover contribute to ensuring infant lives are not unfairly left behind in countries like South Africa, which have a weak relationship with G20 nations.

Abstract: Footprint indicators are used to evaluate chemical substance management. However, determining the impact of chemical restrictions on manufacturing processes and supply chains without a footprint analysis of the entire lifecycle is difficult. Here, we propose a new framework for estimating chemical toxicity footprints utilizing the risk-screening environmental indicators (RSEIs) published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. We conducted an empirical analysis using multi-states input–output data from the U.S. in 2017 to demonstrate the usefulness of the framework, and made policy recommendations based on the obtained results. According to the production-based RSEI scores, Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Louisiana accounted for 43% of the total human health risk in the U.S. By contrast, California and New York ranked first and second in consumption-based RSEI score (i.e., health risk footprint), respectively however, the District of Columbia and Alabama ranked first and second in per capita footprint. Three significant risk transfers, accounting for 6% of the total in the U.S. economy, were found: from California to Texas, from New York to Texas, and from Florida to Texas. In conclusion, specific states such as Texas and Louisiana were at considerable risk from major chemical substance emissions triggered by final demands in mega cities such as New York and California. Thus, the federal and state governments should select high priority sectors and states according to the production-based RSEI scores. Relevant taxes can be collected from states based on the consumer’s responsibility. Footprint-based inter-state financial cooperation is crucial in mitigating chemical pollutions in the U.S.
