The approach method used is a legal research method that focuses on normative analysis of the law. Naturally, this pollution has an impact on the environment, public health and the economy around Karawang Waters. People are experiencing shortness of breath and headaches due to the smell of the oil spill. The actions carried out by Pertamina are considered a very serious environmental crime.
