Abstract

In order to further analyse the hazards of environmental pollution caused by municipal solid waste pollution in China, and put forward the legal countermeasures of preventing and controlling solid pollution, this paper reviews the specific causes of urban solid waste pollution in China, and analyses the harm of four aspects, such as air, water, soil and landscape, caused by the pollution of municipal solid waste. The results show that the main causes of municipal solid waste pollution are, a large population, imperfect laws and regulation system, single disposal of solid wastes and poor public understanding of recycling of solid wastes. Municipal solid waste, mainly pollutes the atmospheric environment, water environment, soil environment and surface landscape. Specific legal countermeasures are proposed based on four aspects: strengthening industrial solid waste control and formulating specific control measures, perfecting the legal system for municipal solid waste control and encouraging classification recycling of garbage, enhancing the construction of a legal liability system for medical wastes and perfecting regulations for the management of electric and electronic wastes, strengthening government supervision and administrative enforcement of solid wastes. The conclusions can provide positive references to strengthen municipal solid waste disposal, relieve municipal solid waste pollution, explore control laws, and achieve an urban ecological balance.
