According to EPD’s website, “Legal controls on polluters have existed for several decades in Hong Kong, but it was not until the EPD was established in 1986 that these controls were strengthened and fully applied. There are now laws to deal with all types of air, noise, water and waste pollution for actives such as construction work, operating restaurants or factories, listening to loud music in your home, raising livestock driving a motor vehicle or exporting waste. These laws encourage operators not to pollute, and to enable offenders to be punished.”

 

Ir Lam will give our members an overview of the legal controls on polluters by EPD and the Environmental Ordinance in Hong Kong including those related to the construction industry
