Based on the analysis of the methods of greenhouse gas stations used for environmental pollution, their systematization into a single mechanism for ensuring environmental safety at various levels is presented: from the state level to the technological system. The content of the constructed mechanism for substantiating the need for the interdependent functioning of its elements. The peculiarity of the proposed mechanism is that it contains elements that ensure the safety of the environment, guaranteeing the means and methods of implementing environmental protection issues.

Research of the problem of counteraction with criminal threats relates to necessity of forming effective scientifically grounded preventive legislation. In this regard, the study is focused on the analysis of scientific crime prevention views, as well as provisions of Russian and foreign preventive legislation, concerning conceptual crime prevention approaches being implemented in order to determine doctrinal crime prevention views to be enforced and aimed at making key provisions of countering criminal threats. This research applies the methods of induction and deduction, generalization and analysis, as well as comparative (in the field of comparative and foreign criminology) and formal-legal methods. The use of the above-mentioned methods showed legislation of different countries to be heterogeneous, which is expressed in some scientific visions addressing the problem of countering criminal threats being represented in the legal acts. Consequently, the authors propose to incorporate in preventive legislation a set of preventive provisions, based on a number of theoretical approaches, namely, the concepts of antisocial behaviour deterrence, and victimological security of the aggrieved party; the concept of positive incentives; and the concept of communitarian impact. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that it is the first comprehensive comparative legal analysis of Russian and foreign legislation on combating crime from conceptual criminological approaches' perspective, which determined the architectonics of this research. The results are valuable in practical terms as the proposals formed could be considered while developing preventive legislation in Russia and other countries in order to increase their preventive potential.

The article examines the possible consequences of water pollution that pose a public danger, identifies the subjects of various types of activity that have a negative impact on the environment, studies the problems arising from the use of water resources. Analysis of measures to prevent pollution of water resources in the study made it possible to form an environmental mechanism to counteract water pollution as an element of the environment and to present its main directions: scientific and technical, state control, legal regulation.

Deterioration of the quality of the environment, including its natural component - land, is becoming stable in modern conditions. Within the framework of this study, the need to form preventive mechanisms for damage to land is substantiated based on the content of its social danger. However, for full-fledged mechanisms that are really capable of realizing soil protection, the assessment of public danger should be carried out based on the actual data of the harm caused, while relying on indicators of environmental pollution of soils, necessarily taking into account the sphere of human activity that they are produced by. Thus, the results of the study showed that the greatest anthropogenic impact on the soil is exerted by industrial facilities, the harmful effect of which has no opposition from the imperative mechanisms of prevention. The elimination of this gap and the development of appropriate mechanisms for protecting the land, its properties and qualities in connection with the functioning of the industry can bring the system of prevention of such acts to a new, higher level.
