In modern society, production of industrial and domestic waste is increasing so much that waste disposal has become a serious problem in many countries in terms of both difficulty in obtaining a location for waste disposal and concern for the hazardous effects upon the human-environmental system. In Japan, combustible waste is burned in an incinerator and the cinders are buried in landfills together with incombustible waste. These buried substances are degraded by soil bacteria and the physico-chemical milieu existing underground. This requires a great deal of time. However, leachate from the waste landfill is unceasingly dispersed into the environment throughout the degradation period. It is known that leachate contains various kinds of chemicals both organic and inorganic, resulting from the degradation process. Leachate should therefore be examined from the point of view of both environmental pollution and hazardous effects on human health. In an attempt to evaluate the mutagenicity of leachate, the authors endeavored to establish some methods. They developed a protocol for the preconcentration of mutagens in the leachate and for the examination of the mutagenicity of leachate obtained from waste landfills in Japan using the Salmonella typhimurium/mammalian-microsome system (Ames test).
