Chapter Chapter 8 in The Co-evolution of Commodity Flows, Economic Geography, and Emissions, 2021, pp 139-171 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents projections from 2008 to 2030 of point-source emissions of three of the US EPA’s criteria pollutants—carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO2)—and volatile organic compounds (VOC) from industrial production in the nine states or multistate groupings considered in the previous chapter and nonpoint-source emissions of the criteria pollutants and VOC plus black carbon (BC) from commodity flows along the routes connecting centroids of these states and multistate groupings. This chapter also presents calculations of environmental (emissions) footprints of both industrial production and consumption (final demand) by industry, pollutant, and location. This study is one of the first to make such calculations, taking into account interindustry sales that constitute commodity flows, and demonstrates a methodology for doing so.
