  		FIG. 5. Variation of remaining mass fraction with normalized injected air volume for different amounts of toluene. The arrows indicate when the flow interruption was performed. The legends describe the flow rate as well as whether the nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) was "above" or "below" the water table. "-cont" indicates continuous air injection.
