“…China Environmental Statistical Yearbook 2005 reveals that the air quality of two-thirds of all Chinese cities falls below the standards established by China's Environment Protection Agency (EPA), indicating that more than three-fourths of the urban population is exposed to highly polluted air (2) . Sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ) pollution, which has long been found to be harmful to both communities and livestock (3) as it causes increased risks of overall mortality and diabetes deaths, and exacerbates existing chronic diseases, will be studied in this paper.…”

Input-output modelling, which is characterised as a flexible analytical tool, is intensively used in life cycle assessment to estimate the environmental impact of production and consumption. In this paper, the extended Leontief input-output model is used to examine SO 2 emissions in China in 2007. Since direct and indirect SO 2 emissions from each sector can be quantitatively calculated by this model, the results would help uncover the relationships between the SO 2 emission transactions of different sectors. A series of indicators, including SO 2 emission multiplier, intersectoral total SO 2 emission intensity, and total SO 2 emission discharge percentage, are also determined to obtain a full understanding of SO 2 emissions in China.
