  1. Papers summarized by the type of spatial interaction method applied and whether toxicity and the release volume are accounted for in the analysis.
  2. 1Analyzes one or more classes of chemicals separately
  3. 2Incorporates number of releases, but not volume
  4. 3Analyzes a single landfill rather than emission sites
