Abstract

The multiplicity of forms of damage resulting from environmental pollution is one of the difficulties facing the affected person in proving the fault, damage, and causal relationship between the defendant's fault and the damage suffered by the injured person, which leads to the difficulty of proving them in the field of environmental pollution as a result of the failure to understand the general rules and disputes related to environmental pollution due to their multiple forms. This is what prompted jurisprudence to mitigate the need to prove the elements of tort liability of error and damage, and the causal link through the division of this responsibility, and sufficiency of probability and suspicion in proving the causal relationship between environmental pollution, which is caused by mines, quarries and oil refining, and damage.
