Genotoxicity is one of the most important characteristics of toxic compounds in waste. For studying genotoxicity of waste, contaminated soil, sewage sludge, and sediments the conventional Ames test with Salmonella is usually used together with SOS-Chromotest and Mutatox [11,19,50-52,165-167]. 

According to the developer, the process is capable of treating waste such as oilfield reserve pits, lagoon waste, hazardous waste (e.g., medical, etc.), municipal waste, contaminated soil, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and general port or terminal waste. 

In anthropogenically impacted systems, Cotter-Howells Thornton (1991) used SEM-EDS to characterize soil grains from a Derbyshire, UK, mining village where Pb mining historically occurred. Many of the soil grains were chloro-pyromorphite. EXAFS was used to identify pyro-morphite in mine-waste-contaminated soils in follow-on studies (Cotter-Howells et al. 1994).

TCDD is the most toxic of the dioxins and remains a primary concern for exposure to humans. Although combustion sources of this compound are now readily accepted, waste contaminated soils and waste dumps remain a costly problem.
