Abstract:Based on the empirical study of adjacent pollution cases, it is found that even though adjacent pollution cases always occur between natural persons, but the pollution caused by the production and operation behavior is more than those living behavior. The main sources of polluting industries are livestock and construction industries which need more pollution prevention resources. The neighboring pollution caused by living behavior always occurs in rural areas, so it is necessary to increase the intensity of environmental governance in rural areas. Moreover, in the process of trial, the standard of identifying pollution facts is unclear. It is suggested that tolerance limit should be regarded as the centralized standard. However, the scope of adjacent pollution and environmental tort is confused in judicial practice. There are different opinions on whether they have coopetition relationship or not. Adjacent pollution and environmental infringement belong to unconditional coopetition, while adjacent pollution caused by limited noise and electromagnetic pollution belong to common infringement coopetition, which is suitable for aggrieved party to choose jus rerem or infringement tort.
