Introduction to environmental pollution:
Due to people's insufficient expectation of the negative impact of highly developed industries and unfavorable prevention, three global crises have resulted: resource shortage, environmental pollution and ecological destruction. Environmental pollution refers to natural or man-made destruction, adding certain substances to the environment, which exceeds the self-purification ability of the environment and causes harm. (or due to human factors, the environment is polluted by harmful substances, which adversely affects the growth and reproduction of organisms and the normal life of human beings. Due to human factors, the composition or state of the environment has changed, and the quality of the environment has declined, thus disturbing and destroying the ecosystem and the normal production and living conditions of human beings.
In view of the difficulties in obtaining evidence, identifying and identifying environmental pollution criminal cases, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate issued the Judicial Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in Handling Environmental Pollution Criminal Cases, which made new provisions on the conviction and sentencing standards of environmental pollution crimes, so as to severely punish and prevent environmental pollution. According to the explanation, if more than one person is seriously injured or more than three people are slightly injured, it constitutes "serious environmental pollution" and will be investigated for criminal responsibility for environmental pollution.
