Based on the analysis of the field and characteristics of environmental protection in highway and water transportation, the fields of the standardization of environmental protection in highway and water transportation were defined into the environmental protection supervision, environmental protection in traffic planning, infrastructure facility construction and maintenance, passenger and freight transport, and the standard system was positioned as the level of specific trade standards system, including basic and specific standards. By analyzing the intersection among existing standard systems in China and characteristic of highway and water transportation, part of standards of standard system for national environmental protection, engineering construction of highway and water transportation, inland river shipping were used relative standards of standard system for environmental protection in highway and water transportation, and standards for pollution control of shipping were included standards system for environmental protection in highway and water transportation.

With the improvement of the social and economic level, the quality of people's lives has been significantly improved, and environmental protection has gradually attracted people's attention. Environmental protection projects have developed rapidly in this environment. In order to further improve the environmental protection effect of the project construction, it is necessary to do a good job of control and management of the construction site. Judging from the current situation, there are still many problems in China's environmental protection engineering construction site management. Based on this, this article analyzes the deficiencies in the field management of environmental protection projects and proposes corresponding solutions, hoping to promote the overall level of environmental protection projects.

Immediately after independence in 1946, the Government of India resorted to rapid industrialization to minimize outside dependence and to improve the standard of living. This, while helping the country to grow, also created problems of environmental management. Rapid deterioration of natural resources forced the Government to enact a number of legislative measures and create regulatory agencies both at central and state government levels. These agencies were given powers to effectively implement various Acts. Severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment, were envisaged for offenders of environmental Acts. Responsibilities were defined, to avoid a scapegoat approach. On the other hand, to reward industries showing a positive approach to environmental protection, a number of fiscal incentives and tax benefits were also offered. Recently, to provide more comprehensive legislation for the protection of all the components of the environment under a single agency, a new bill entitled the ‘Environmental Protection Bill, 1986' has been introduced in Parliament. This regulatory approach has started to show results, and more and more industries have started to provide pollution control facilities.

Abstract In 2015, the All-China Environment Federation v Dezhou Jinghua Group Zhenhua Corporation Limited case was the first civil environmental public interest litigation (CEPIL) against air pollution in China. Constituting a milestone in the field of air pollution control in China, this case (i) confirms the eligibility of a non-governmental organisation (NGO) to file civil public interest litigations; (ii) discusses remedies for the ecological destruction caused by air pollution; (iii) assesses the ecological and environmental damage using the ‘virtual restoration cost’ method; and (iv) uses public apology as an innovative way for Zhenhua to assume liability. By applying and interpreting several important rules under the Environmental Protection Law of China (EPLC) for the first time, this case sets an example for future CEPILs against air pollution in China.

AbstractThe proper division of responsibility for environmental protection between national and state governments has long been the subject of fierce debate. During the 1970s the United States Congress decided to shift the most important environmental responsibilities from state governments to the federal government. The main reason for this decision was to prevent a ‘race to the bottom’ in that states competing for industries could otherwise be lax in implementing and enforcing federal environmental standards. Yet, some scholars have argued that there could just as easily be a ‘race to the top’ among states as they compete to attract people and businesses concerned with environmental protection. China, in turn, is plagued with severe air and water pollution and soil contamination, which is attributed largely to ineffective enforcement of its national environmental laws. This article investigates whether China’s experience confirms the race-to-the-bottom theory. It demonstrates that devolution of responsibility for environmental protection to lower levels of government tends to result in lax implementation and enforcement of national environmental laws, particularly where national governments also create strong incentives for economic growth. It concludes that China’s highly devolved system of environmental governance is consistent with this theory, even if it does not provide conclusive evidence of its correctness.

With the effectively control of the point source pollution, non-point source pollution has become the most serious pollution source in our country. In addition, the agricultural non-point source pollution control has become the most important part of the environmental protection. By referring to related journals, this article makes a comprehensive analysis on definition, characteristics, mechanism, harm and prevention countermeasures of agricultural non-point source pollution.
