ABSTRACT

There are significant differences among diverse subjects in their legal perception of environmental health risks. The public's legal perception of environmental health risks, based on their own interests and limited perspectives, originates from direct experiences and indirect experiences, and is influenced by intergenerational memory and mass communication. Guided by the pursuit of efficiency, enterprises have begun to pay attention to environmental health risks and actively control pollution emissions after being regulated by law. Environmental protection organizations follow the requirements of environmental protection laws, promote environmental legal knowledge, and carry out environmental protection practices from the perspective of collective interests. The media is constrained by the characteristics of news, balances reporting truthfulness with pursuing news value. The government's legal perception of environmental health risks has undergone a transformation. It once valued economic development over environmental protection, but now increasingly emphasizes controlling environmental health risks within the framework of environmental law. In the practice of legal governance of environmental health risks, there is often a pattern where enterprises manufacture environmental pollution, and the public pays more attention to self-protection in the early stages of pollution, and then participates in the legal governance of the environment. Although the government takes the lead in controlling environmental health risks, its regulatory measures are limited, and the roles of media and environmental organizations are restricted.There are a series of problems such as poor communication and incorrect information among diversified entities. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a healthy communication mechanism, promote collaborative cooperation among multiple stakeholders, achieve equal governance, and improve the legal governance system for the environment.
