These eight major environmental pollution incidents are known as the Eight Major Public Pollution Incidents, also known as the Eight Major Environmental Hazards. The frequent occurrence of environmental pollution incidents in the world is due to the rise and development of modern chemical, smelting, automobile and other industries, resulting in the continuous increase in the emission of industrial waste gas, waste water and solid waste.

Industrial waste gas, waste water, and solid waste are the "three wastes" of industry, also known as "raw materials placed in the wrong place", and if they are used, they can improve environmental sanitation.

1) Major environmental pollution accidents caused by environmental pollution behaviors; (2) illegal disposal of imported solid waste; (3) Importing solid waste for use as raw materials without authorization; (4) Smuggling of waste, including liquid waste and gaseous waste. The characteristic of polluting environmental criminal proceedings is that no matter what the cause or act is, there is a fact of environmental pollution or there is a danger of polluting the environment, and the fact of polluting the environment is used as the basis for initiating environmental criminal proceedings. (2) Destructive Environmental Criminal Litigation Destructive environmental criminal litigation refers to environmental criminal litigation caused by the destruction of resources.
