Release to the environment were based on actual measurement or mass balance. Analysis of representative samples were 

assumed to reflect average values.

Fluoropolymers manufactured with PFOA or related chemicals.

2 Use the following ranges: (1) Zero (2) > 0 – 10 kgs; (3) > 10 kgs – 100 kgs; (4) > 100 kgs – 1,000 kgs; (5) > 1,000 kgs – 10,000 kgs; (6) > 10,000 kgs – 100,000 

kgs; (7) > 100,000 kgs – 1,000,000 kgs; (8) Over 1,000,000 kgs. 

3 Concentration should reflect the concentration of chemical in the product as sold by the reporting company. If the reporting company has information concerning the 

concentration of chemical in the product as used by others – for example, as incorporated by dilution into a formulation – that additional information would also be 

helpful.

4 This value should be expressed as a weighted average concentration and range.

5 This value should be expressed as a maximum concentration.

6 This value should be expressed as a simple (not weighted) average and range.
Analytical methods were described in Appendix D when data were based on measured data. Some data were based on mass 

balance. With regard to Telomer based products, non-polymeric low molecular weight chemicals were regarded as precursors.
