内河流域微塑料污染的刑法治理

Criminal Law Governance of Microplastic Pollution in Inland River Basins

微塑料定义为直径小于5毫米的塑料颗粒或碎片,普遍存在于河流、湖泊及海洋中,来源包括日常使用的塑料制品、工业排放以及化妆品等。内河流域作为人类生活和经济活动的重要场所,其水质直接关系到公共健康和生态平衡。当前微塑料污染在内河流域日益严重,传统的环境管理措施已难以应对这一挑战,现有国家立法和政策措施属于内河流域微塑料污染防治的初级手段,如何通过立法全面治理海洋微塑料污染问题应是法学者未来研究的重要课题。将刑法手段纳入环境治理体系,对于遏制微塑料污染具有重要意义。本文分析内河流域微塑料污染治理的严峻性,并提出内河流域微塑料污染的刑法治理措施。

Microplastics are defined as plastic particles with a diameter of less than 5 millimeters,commonly found in rivers,lakes,and oceans.Their sources include daily use of plastic products,industrial emissions,and cosmetics.As an important place for human life and economic activities,the water quality of inland river basins is directly related to public health and ecological balance.Currently,microplastic pollution is becoming increasingly severe in inland river basins,and traditional environmental management measures are no lo nger able to meet this challenge.Existing national legislation and policy measures are the primary means of preventing and controlling microplas tic pollution in inland river basins.How to comprehensively address marine microplastic pollution through legislation should be an important topic for future research by legal scholars.Incorporating criminal law measures into the environmental governance system is of great significance for curbing microplastic pollution.This article analyzes the severity of microplastic pollution c ontrol in inland river basins and proposes criminal law measures for the control of microplastic pollution in inland river bas.
