The three tiers of monitoring provide a range of information necessary for the management of clean-up operations.

In the results section, the authors estimate the number of cases of childhood morbidity that could be averted in each pollution clean-up scenario.
This figure also shows a clean-up transducer which removes any violation markers from the eventual outputs.
Together, this information is used as the basis for trigger values to initiate remediation and target values to be achieved by clean-up.
During the 2000 clean-up, approximately 1 tonne of material was removed from the surface of the bottle dump.
