Abstract
As global waste generation increases, waste toxicity has become a significant global issue. Among various hazardous properties, ecotoxicity refers to the risks that waste may pose to the environment. It is evaluated through aquatic bioassays to assess the effects of leaching contaminants, as well as through soil assessments where waste is buried. To clarify these issues, this study collected waste leaching methods from international organizations and various countries and analyzed case studies of bioassays for waste leachates. The criteria for determining the ecotoxicity of waste leachates were also reviewed, revealing inconsistencies in leaching methods across the European Union, the United States, Canada, and Asian countries. Additionally, various bioassays were applied to assess waste leachates, further contributing to inconsistencies. Given these variations, we recommend developing a unified leaching method, standardized bioassays, and consistent criteria for assessing the toxicity of waste leachates.

期刊介绍：
Toxics (ISSN 2305-6304) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to all aspects of toxic chemicals and materials. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in detail. There is, therefore, no restriction on the maximum length of the papers, although authors should write their papers in a clear and concise way. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of calculations and experimental procedure can be deposited as supplementary material, if it is not possible to publish them along with the text.
