However, the contributions from South Korea and Japan to PM<sub>2.5</sub> population exposure and associated premature deaths in China are nonnegligible from both production and consumption perspectives. From a consumption perspective, the contributions of South Korea and Japan to PM<sub>2.5</sub>-related premature deaths in China amount to 6.96 [95% confidence interval (CI): 6.36, 7.56] and 9.79 (95% CI: 8.93, 10.64) thousand deaths in 2015, respectively, and 5.03 (95% CI: 4.55, 5.49) and 7.75 (95% CI: 7.02, 8.47) in 2017, respectively. These figures are generally larger than China's contributions to PM<sub>2.5</sub>-related premature deaths in South Korea and Japan, which measure 4.63 (95% CI: 3.97, 5.28) and 3.91 (95% CI: 2.78, 5.01) thousand deaths in 2015, respectively, and 4.43 (95% CI: 3.75, 5.1) and 3.69 (95% CI: 2.57, 4.79) in 2017, respectively.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>Our findings show that mutual contributions of PM<sub>2.5</sub> pollution and associated health impacts among the three countries vary considerably when different metrics and accounting perspectives are applied. A consumption perspective reveals narrower gaps in mutual contributions than a production perspective. Moreover, other countries outside Northeast Asia may have played a significant role in contributing to PM<sub>2.5</sub> pollution and associated health impacts in Northeast Asia, suggesting that Northeast Asian countries should look beyond this region and collaborate with the rest of the world to jointly develop effective PM<sub>2.5</sub> mitigation strategies.
