Based on MRIO model, a multi-regional input-output table with 13industries and 4 regions (Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and other provinces) of China was made in 2007, and the inter-provincial embodied pollution transfers in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was estimated. It focused on six major pollutants such as SO2, NOx, industrial dust, smoke dust, COD and ammonia nitrogen. The Pollution Terms of Trade was adopted here to analyze the impacts of bilateral trade on emission in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The results indicated that Beijing benefited most while Hebei lost most and Tianjin sat in the middle with regard to embodied pollution transferring pattern. The industrial distribution pattern in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region was a major factor affecting the inter-provincial embodied pollution transfer in the region. Huge quantities of product transferred out, transferring of pollution-intensive industrial products as well as disadvantages in Pollution Terms of Trade made Hebei be the most negatively affected one of the three in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
