Regulating risks is one of the major endeavors of the governmental agencies. In the process of managing risks，quite often，risk transfer occurs. This means that policies for coping with risks posed to one group of the population incur additional risks to another group，which may involve environmental injustice. This risk transfer phenomena exist in managing air quality in China，which receives little attention so far. Our study intends to raise this issue and use two policies as examples，which are using electricity to substitute fossil fuel in Beijing and relocating pollution-intensive industries from Beijing to other places，to demonstrate the causes and consequences of “risk transfer”，and to attract the attention from both policy makers and scholars.
