releases of perfluoroalkyl and          
polyfluoroalkyl substances during       
destruction or disposal1 including      

through volatilization1 air dispersion1 
or leachate2 and  7,b7 potentially      
vulnerable populations living near      
likely destruction or disposal sites2   
and  7#b7 provide guidance on testing   
and monitoring air1 effluent1 and soil
