↵1 The extracted TOC is the TOC measured in the extract − TOC measured in the control. The mean control blank TOC for pH 2 = 1.45 mg/L, Neutral = 0.65 mg/L and pH 12 = 3.23 mg/L.
↵2 A value of 0.00 means that the TOC of the extract and control were so similar that the difference was not meaningful.
