How does those contaminants spread? Eg, airborne or via ground water, ...? How far from an airport is it risky, if you know?

What I read says water dispersion. For example

I'm no expert. The pfoa risk to humans is plastics in food prep and storage mainly. Most reports say the traces from pfas foams at airports is an unquantified risk right now. Farms are finding they can't sell produce.
