Abstract	Environmental mass incidents have emerged in many places in China recently, especially in the industrialized coastal regions. In 2005, three major mass incidents took place in southeast China's Zhejiang Province. China is currently in a period of frequent mass incidents and it has become one of local governments' major tasks to solve environmental problems in order to prevent environmental mass incidents. Scholars attribute the emergence of environmental mass incidents to improved environmental awareness, the dissemination of government information, the incomplete environmental law system, and conflicts between the environment and development. The Emergency Response Law of the People's Republic of China , effective November 1, 2007, clearly defined Social Safety Incident as an incident in which emergency response measures should be taken. The Law also specifies the rules related to the emergency response activities such as prevention and preparedness, surveillance and warning, rescue operations, rehabilitation and reconstruction. Keywords: environmental mass incidents in China; public participation
