Cases of industrial pollution are cropping up all over the place, and everyone is asking for compensation according to their own terms. The company thinks the sum sought by the victims is astronomical and refuses or is unable to pay. The victims don't want to go through time-consuming, troublesome and hard-to-win legal channels, and the result is often demonstrations and factory shut-ins.
我們目前正處於這種狀況，汙染損害事件一一引爆，而索賠在缺乏客觀依據下更是各說各話，往往受害者提出的金額被企業認為是漫天要價，不願或無法支付，工廠附近民眾又不願循耗費時日、又難舉證的訴訟程序，紛紛轉成圍廠糾紛。
