Abstract: In the current trend, human activities of production and activities have discharged a large amount of waste. This makes the pressure to handle environmental pollution increasing. Therefore, environmental services have become an important economic sub-sector of many countries including Vietnam. In Vietnam, as of 2017, have 3,769 enterprises operate in the field of environmental services. Of which, more than 80% are non-state enterprises, about 1% are FDI enterprises and the rest are state-owned enterprises. Enterprises mainly focus on services with high demand resulting from the requirements of the 2005 Law on Environmental Protection, such as designing, manufacturing, and building waste treatment systems; environmental monitoring and analysis; consulting, training, providing environmental information. This paper provides a general analysis of businesses operating in the environmental services industry, the situation of attracting FDI into the industry, pointing out the causes and shortcomings in the development of the industry and giving some discussions and recommendations for developing environmental services in Vietnam Keywords: Environmental services, FDI, Vietnam.

The environment as a place to live and at the same time as a storage for waste from human activities. Can return to normal if the waste does not damage the environment. Environmental pollution has a bad impact on society. Research and reports from related institutions noted Indonesia's environmental problems, namely polluted rivers, the quality of the water must be considered because it is widely used by the community. The research method in this writing uses normative legal research, first examining the problem using the basis of statutory law. Discussion of issues regarding legal arrangements for criminal acts of environmental pollution and responsibility for criminal acts of environmental pollution according to criminal law in Indonesia. In this case, the legal provisions for criminal acts of environmental pollution are regulated in Law No.32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management. The accountability may be imposed on individuals, corporations and authorized officials.

The problem of losses of oil products from leaks during their storage and transportation at oil supply facilities is considered. The influence of oil product leaks on the environmental situation around oil depots and gas stations is shown. A detailed overview of existing methods and tools for detecting leaks of petroleum products from storage facilities is presented. The evaluation of their effectiveness. Two methods for detecting oil leaks and devices based on them are proposed. The first device monitors the movement of liquid in the tank, the second-detects petroleum products in wastewater. The problem of recovery of petroleum vapors and environmental pollution from the release of vapors of light fractions into the atmosphere is also considered. An overview of existing methods and means of recovery of petroleum vapors is presented. Two methods and devices for capturing oil vapors and returning them to the reservoir are proposed, based on different principles: vapor absorption in the cooled oil product and vapor recovery on the principle of the Carnot cycle. It is shown that these devices can provide effective detection of oil leaks and recovery of their vapors, as well as improve the effectiveness of environmental protection at modern gas stations and tank farms.

There are various signs indicating that the Earth's natural environment is changing toward unfavorable direction for species, which is highly suspected to be connected with human activities. In the last century, people all over the world have realized the severity of environmental issues. In the long history, Chinese ancient had already development good rules and methods to reach balance between economic development and environment sustainability. This paper will discuss how environmental concepts forms and which methods could be applied in the future.

Abstract Background: Rapid economic growth in China has resulted in a commensurate increase in energy consumption, which in turn has caused an increase in environmental pollution problems. Past research has mainly focused on energy and environmental efficiency analyses with little consideration of the influence of media influence on environmental protection. Further, most studies have used static models and have ignored the dynamic changes over time. Methods : To go some way to filling this research gap, this study developed a modified undesirable Dynamic DEA model that included air quality index (AQI) and CO2 indicators to explore the relationship between energy, the environment and media efficiency in 31 Chinese cities from 2013 to 2016. Results: It was found that: 1. Chongqing, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai had efficiencies of 1, but Lanzhou, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, Xining and Yinchuan needed significant improvements; 2. while Chongqing, Guangzhou, Kunming, Nanning and Shanghai had relatively high media efficiency, the other cities had low efficiency and required improvements; 3. the CO 2 emissions efficiency in most cities was better than the air quality index efficiency; and 4. media reports in most cities were found to have a more positive impact on CO 2 emissions efficiency than AQI efficiency. Conclusions: As environmental awareness enhances the health of civilians and promotes economic growth, the news media needs to promote environmental protection, and should increase its environmental pollution coverage. The quality of media reports on environmental pollution and especially on air pollution need to be improved. Therefore, environmental pollution and awareness media coverage needs to be increased.
