TLDR
This paper analyzed the global and distributional aspects of American household carbon footprint and found that 30% of total US household CO 2 impact in 2004 occurred outside the US and that households vary considerably in their CO 2 responsibilities: at least a factor of ten difference exists between low and high-impact households.About:

Environmental Repercussions And The Economic Structure: An Input-Output Approach
TL;DR: In each of its many forms it is related in a measurable way to some particular consumption or production process: the quantity of carbon monoxide released in the air bears, for example, a definite relationship to the amount of fuel burned by various types of automotive engines; discharge of polluted water into our streams and lakes is linked directly to the level of output of the steel, the paper, the textile and all the other water-using industries and its amount depends, in each instance, on the technological characteristics of the particular industry as mentioned in this paper.
