Transformation processes change the chemical structure of a compound. Because not all transformation processes convert hazardous wastes to nonhazardous compounds, geochemical fate assessment must consider both the full range of transformation processes that may occur and the toxicity and mobility of the resulting products. For deep-well-injected wastes, transformation processes and subsequent reactions may lead to one or more of the following ... 

This section discusses how held studies can be used in geochemical fate assessment and includes six cases of deep-well-injection facilities, documenting the geochemistry of the injected hazardous and other industrial wastes. Each case study is organized in the same format, with section headings as follows ...
