AB  - Very few developed economies have a full free trade agreement (FTA) with China. 
      This study employs one GTAP model and builds an extended environmental 
      multi-region input-output model to investigate a hypothetical China-UK FTA, 
      concerning embodied industrial emissions of SO(2), PM(2.5), NO(X), and NH(3). The 
      economic sectors are also classified based on their embodied pollution intensity 
      and trade advantage index under various FTA scenarios. Results show that the UK's 
      GDP and welfare and China's welfare will increase, along with changes in their 
      trade structures. Overall, this FTA brings about larger net impacts on embodied 
      emissions of SO(2) than on PM(2.5), NO(X) and NH(3), and both countries are net 
      importers of the latter three pollutants. Key sectors such as non-metallic 
      mineral products, chemical products, and agriculture are inclined to become less 
      competitive and less polluting under the FTA. The inclusion of agri-food sectors 
      exhibits slight counteracting effects in general. The findings are of policy 
      importance as they provide insights into how best to target key sectors, seeking 
      a balance between trade development and environmental protection. SUPPLEMENTARY
