Meeple station toxic gases

I'm looking for feedback on how to deal with out-of-control toxic gases from building a waste processor, assigning a  Hazmeep, then removing waste pipes from waste ejector so that all waste goes to waste processor to produce biomass. All was going well, until I unassigned the Hazmeep. Then all hell broke out with toxic gases. 

To combat this, I assigned 5 Hazmeeps to no avail. I can't remove the toxic gases even after reconnecting the waste ejectors to the bathrooms and waste bins.

Help??

these gasses, or as. like to call them 'stink clouds' are often spawned when bathrooms overflow from a full waste line and nowhere for it to go. If you have vents setup, you can trap stink clouds by building bulkheads instead of doors, because they block airflow. But uh, yeah once a stink cloud gets into an open room it really spreads fast. Best thing is to build vents to allow oxygen flow, and trap it off with bulkheads. even putting a bulkhead to seal off where your bathrooms are is good practice I believe.

Thanks for your response. 

Knowing that I have 4 waste processors and hazmeeps working, will biomass accumulate with all bathrooms and waste bins connected to ejectors?

so long as you have wastage in the line, yeah, they'll keep producing biomass, however if you run out they'll just stop. Waste processors also passively turn some waste back into water.

I tried all of these (bulkheads, vents), I have 26 waste ejectors and a waste processor with 3 hazmeeps working, but yet I somehow can't seem to get past these stink clouds. A bathroom ejected a stink cloud, but when I looked 1 second later the waste capacity of my space station was at 0/1650 liters. Is there something like a limit of how much waste can flow through a single waste line or something? Or do you have another way to solve this problem?
