	f_N Air contact	f_N No-Air contact	S_N Total	Median Volume Air Contact	Median Volume No-Air Contact	SA/VOL Air contact	SA/VOL No-Air contact	SA/VOL Total
				(mm³)	(mm³)	(mm⁻¹)	(mm⁻¹)	(mm⁻¹)
Scan 2	0.23	0.77	14	0.028	0.012	13.2	14.7	13.3
Scan 3	0.15	0.85	8	0.046	0.009	12.1	10.7	11.8

SA = surface area of organic liquid, V = volume of organic liquid, f_N is the fraction of organic liquid in contact or not in contact with air, and S_N = residual saturation of organic liquid
