Abstract

The living environment is the unity of space with all objects, forces, conditions and living creatures, including humans and their behavior, which influence nature itself, the continuity of life and the welfare of humans and other living creatures. The environment is a source and support for human life, therefore it must be preserved and developed to improve the welfare and quality of life of the nation's generations. The city of Karawang, which has the nickname as an industrial city, cannot be avoided from environmental pollution and damage. One of the cases that made Karawang residents busy was caused by a leak in the caustic soda production plant. This research uses a normative juridical approach method, namely by examining research objects through library materials by researching and studying research objects through library materials which include statutory regulations, books and law journal articles. From the results of the research carried out, it can be concluded that the Government's steps through the Environmental Service in revoking the caustic soda plant production permit do not have a deterrent effect on the company so that firm steps are needed from the Government to overcome the problem of gas leaks at the company's caustic soda plant. Efforts that can be made to at least minimize the risk of more casualties is to move the company to a place far from residential areas.
