Book Description

German Environmental Law addresses scholars, lawmakers, administrators, investors, & protectionists from outside Germany who do not read German but wish to have access to the sources of German environmental law. The major law texts concerning nature conservation, air quality control, water protection, waste management, road planning, environmental impact assessment & environmental liability are reproduced. Also included are the Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control, an administrative guideline of great practical importance, which is often taken as a point of reference for the construction of industrial plants, even outside Germany. The law texts are accompanied by a case-related introduction to German environmental law. While there are numerous introductions to & editions of German environmental law in the German language, this book is the first to outline German environmental law & reproduce the basic law texts in the English language.
