  To guard the environmental quality of the public and improve the efficiency of serving the people, the "Public Nuisance Petition System " was established in 1993 to integrate the public nuisance petition workflow across the country.

  Through this system, multiple channels were provided for the public to petition pollution cases, such as telephone, Internet, sending a written report , e-mail, and fax.
