Summary

The examination of wastes shows a few special problems in contrast to that of more or less homogeneous materials like raw and finished products. Thus, high requirements have to be met for conception and technique of sampling in order to obtain samples which are representative for the bulk. The categorisation of wastes and the estimation of their potential hazard to the environment requires methods for measuring the mobilization of inorganic and organic components, e.g. standard elution tests. Different types of such tests and the results obtained are dealt with in detail. In the field of waste examination, the problems and possible screening as well as instrumental laboratory methods are critically discussed.
