Presently, the environmental protection bureaus across China may use various means of punishment to investigate and deal with conduct in violation of environmental regulations such as impose consecutive daily fines, close down operations and/or distrain, limit or suspend production, and persons held under administrative detention. They will also work together with judicial organs to punish environmental crimes.
目前，中国各地环保机关可使用按日连续处罚、查封扣押、限产停产以及移送行政拘留等处罚手段查处环境违法行为，并与司法机关配合惩治环境犯罪。
