I'm not after a scrap over the use of Fenton's reagent to destroy Toluene, but this sounds like supposition to me. The process, IIRC, produces a lot of oxygen rich gas which would carry off toluene vapour. Not great for people to use inside and a fire hazard. A bigger problem for me is that Toluene dissolves in water very badly, so while this may be facile for treating contaminated waste water it sounds very inefficient for bulk disposal.Marvin (talk) 13:03, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
