Evolution of Environmental Regulations

Over time, the notion of the environment has evolved to receive new meanings, some of which are explained here. We can distinguish the natural environment, which theoretically works without the massive intervention of man, and the built environment that is built by the massive intervention of man. The natural environment of interest to man consists of the lithosphere and atmosphere. Pollutant is any solid substance, liquid, in gaseous or vaporous form or as energy (electromagnetic, ionizing, thermal, sound or vibrating radiation) which, introduced into the environment, alters the balance of its constituents and of living organisms and damages material property. The principles of environmental rules and regulations are based on objective conditionality in the sense that the norm is in line with the nature, history and will of the majority of society and consistency in regulation. Environmental laws are distinguished by their way of complex approach. Man is essentially a creation of nature so there was and will be an interaction between man and the environment. Usages and norms that relate to the links between man and his surrounding nature are the first form of regulation of the relations between human beings and the natural environment.
