Legislation of air pollution control in China

Abstract

Air pollution bulks large in environmental protection initiatives in China in these years. The increasing emissions of VOCs, fume, ash, sulfides, nitrifying materials, sulfur dioxide, PmM2.5 and PM10 are damaging the atmospheric ecology and affecting people's life and social development. The root cause is that under the government-dominated governance of pollution control, a relevant legal system is absent and legislation in this aspect seems reaching nowhere. In this regard, the central government of China has established the foundation of the legislation directions, objectives, principles and basic policies, and to establish an elaborate legal system for air pollution control is the key to control air pollution in a scientific manner.
