German Environmental Law:Basic Texts and Introduction

This text addresses scholars, lawmakers, administrators, investors, and 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 and environmental liability are reproduced. Also included are the "Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control", an administrative guideline of 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. This text outlines German environmental law and reproduces the basic law texts in the English language.
