Table 14 shows that the highest heavy metal and PAH concentrations were found in the landfill ash, which resulted from incineration of waste. The comparison of the waste ash with the LAGA List shows that most of the parameters analysed comply with Z0 and Z1, except for copper (Z2). Restricted backfill under controlled conditions is therefore recommended. 50 40 40b 4c a Dutch List does not apply to waste, according to EWC: 19 01 Wastes from incineration or pyrolysis of waste, 19 01 99 Wastes not otherwise specified.

Wadi Gaza continues to be used as a waste dump site along its course. The UNEP team visited the area around the wadi mouth, where approximately 50 Wadi Gaza waste dump site 20,000 m² is used as a waste dump site.
