Summary
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the less polluted terrestrial ecosystem of them all?" Analysis of the infrared spectra of the gases evolved during thermal decomposition of plant and animal residues present in the soil will answer this. It is doable because degree of pollution is related to the ratio of the released low molecular gases, such as water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and ammonia.
