toluene removal efficiencies were above 97 % (Figures 4-17 and 4-18). With a toluene gas inlet concentration of 4.5 mg/L, there was no detectable toluene in the liquid phase. With a toluene gas inlet concentration of 5.7 mg/L, the toluene concentration in the liquid phase was below 4.0 mg/L, and no other metabolites were detected in the liquid phase in both cases.
