Aggression and Property Rights Plank in the Libertarian Party Platform

Adapted from my Facebook post: The Libertarian Party’s 2022 convention, in Sparks (Reno) NV is over. It was an exhausting but interesting 3 full days. The Mises Caucus swept the LNC. I was also elected to serve on the Judicial Committee (see below). A few ad-hoc amendments to the LP Platform were made as well as a larger set of amendments recommended by the Platform Committee.
I like this succinct statement of Libertarian property rights.
I have a question on "choices [that] do not harm or infringe on the rights of others.". How do you see this playing out in the case of negative externalties where the harm may be real but hard to pin down to a specific property owner harming a specific other (for example: many producers pollute the air and cause health damage to the local population but leave it very hard to prove that a specific producer harmed a specific other).
How would Libertarian property rights help to resolve this situation ?
