AB  - Air pollution, a threat to air quality and human health, has attracted 
      ever-increasing attention in recent years. In addition to having local influence, 
      air pollutants can also travel the globe via atmospheric circulation and 
      international trade. Black carbon (BC), emitted from incomplete combustion, is a 
      unique but representative particulate pollutant. This study tracked down the BC 
      aerosol and its direct radiative forcing to the emission sources and final 
      consumers using the global chemical transport model (MOZART-4), the rapid 
      radiative transfer model for general circulation simulations (RRTM), and a 
      multiregional input-output analysis (MRIO). BC was physically transported (i.e., 
      atmospheric transport) from western to eastern countries in the midlatitude 
      westerlies, but its magnitude is near an order of magnitude higher if the virtual 
      flow embodied in international trade is considered. The transboundary effects on 
      East and South Asia by other regions increased from about 3% (physical transport 
      only) to 10% when considering both physical and virtual transport. The influence 
      efficiency on East Asia was also large because of the comparatively large 
      emission intensity and emission-intensive exports (e.g., machinery and 
      equipment). The radiative forcing in Africa imposed by consumption from Europe, 
      North America, and East Asia (0.01 Wm(-2)) was even larger than the total forcing 
      in North America. Understanding the supply chain and incorporating both 
      atmospheric and virtual transport may improve multilateral cooperation on air 
      pollutant mitigation both domestically and internationally.
