Abstract
The essay explores the importance of language with regard to the respect to the need for legal certainty, with particular reference to environmental crimes. In fact, in this context the complexity of the matter, as well as the ambiguity of concepts, the concept of the environment" first, might determine the violation of the constitutional principles of "precisione", "determinatezza" and "tassatività" which the criminal law is required to comply with.
