ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity: Perfluorooctanoic acid; may also be referred to as PFOA, FC26, or FX-1001. (Octanoic add, pentadecafluoro-, CAS # 33567-1)
Remarks: The 3M production lot number was 269. The test substance
is a white powder. The test sample is FC-26 referred to by the test
laboratory as N2803-3. The purity of the sample was not sufficiently
characterized, although current information indicates it is a mixture of 96.5
-100% test substance and 0 - 3.5% C6, C7, and Cg perfluoro homologue
compounds.
-
Remarks field: The sample preparation directions given to the laboratory were to dissolve the test material in a 50:50 waterisopropanol solution. In the protocol amendment, it was stated that the sample was combined with isopropanol in a 50:50 ratio prior to use.
METHOD
Method: U.S. EPA-TSCA Guideline 797.1400 Type: Static acute GLP: Yes Year study conducted: 1995 Year study completed: 1996. Species: Pimephales promelas Supplier: Aquatic Biosystems, Fort Collins, CO Analytical monitoring: DO, conductivity, pH and temperature were monitored daily. Exposure period: 96-hours Statistical methods: LC50 values calculated, when possible, by probit analysis, moving average method or binomial probability with non-linear interpolation using the computer software of C.E. Stephan. Test fish age: Not given. Length and weight offish in control: Average total length = 33.4 mm, average wet weight = 0.35 g. Loading: 0.23 g fish/L Pretreatment: None
Test conditions: Dilution Water: Deionized water adjusted to a hardness of 40-48 mg/L as CaCOs/L
C03964
Dilution water chemistry: Representative sample given in Table 1 of the final report. Temperature: 22 + 2C Lighting: Cool-white fluorescent bulbs with an intensity of 31 ft-c. Photoperiod of 16-hours light, 8-hours dark with a 15 minute transition period. Stock and test solutions preparation: Appropriate amounts of test substance were added directly to the dilution water in the test vessels. No insoluble material was noted during the test. Concentrations dosing rate: Once Stability of the test chemical solutions: Not noted. Exposure vessels: 20 L glass aquaria containing approximately 15 L of test solution, water depth approximately 18 cm. Number of replicates: two Number of fish-per replicate: ten Number of concentrations: five plus a negative control Water chemistry during the study:
Dissolved oxygen range (0 - 96 hours): 6.4 - 8.7 mg/L (control exposure) 5.2 - 8.8 mg/L (220 mg/L exposure)
Conductivity range (0 - 48 hours) 120 pmhos/cm (control exposure) 110 pmhos/cm (220 mg/L exposure)
pH range (0 - 96 hours) 7.1 - 7 .6 (control exposure) 6.2 - 7.2 (220 mg/L exposure)
Test temperature range (0 - 96 hours) 21.9 - 22.6C (control exposure) 21.9 - 22.6C (220 mg/L exposure)
Remarks: The pH of the test solutions for the 360, 600 and 1,000 mg/L exposure concentrations were in the range of 3.0-4.3 at test initiation. This low pH would have adversely affected the survival of the fathead minnow.
RESULTS
Nominal concentrations: Blank control, 130, 220, 360, 600,1,000 mg/L (Tested as 50:50 mixture of test substance and isopropanol). The concentration of test substance in solution was 65, 110, 180, 300 and 500 mg/L.
Element value (as-tested): 24-hour LCso = 280 (220 - 360) mg/L 48-hour LCso = 280 (220 - 360) mg/L 72-hour LCso = 280 (220 - 360) mg/L
003965
96-hour LCso = 280 (220 - 360) mg/L 96-hour NOEC = 220 mg/L Element value (based on concentration of test substance in solution): 24-hour LC50 = 140 (110 -180) mg/L 48-hour LC50 = 140 (110 -180) mg/L 72-hour LCso = 140 (110 -180) mg/L 96-hour LCso = 140 (110 -180) mg/L 96-hour NOEC= 110 mg/L
All element values based on nominal concentrations.
A toxicity test conducted previously with isopropanol at 500 mg/L showed no mortality or sublethal effects.
Statistical Evaluation of Mortality: All of the LCso values were determined by binomial interpolation.
Biological observations after 96-hours: Fish in the control and the 130, and 220 mg/L exposure concentrations appeared normal. Total mortality was observed by 24 hours in the 360, 600 and 1,000 mg/L exposure concentrations.

CONCLUSIONS
The as-tested test substance 96-hour LCso for fathead minnow was determined to be 280 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval of 220 - 360 mg/L. The as-tested test substance 96-hour no observed effect
concentration (NOEC) was 220 mg/L. The 96-hour LC50 for fathead minnow based on the concentration of test substance in solution was determined to be 140 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval of 110 - 180 mg/L. The 96-hour no observed effect concentration (NOEC) for the test substance in solution was 110 mg/L. Submitter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133
DATA QUALITY Reliability: Klimisch ranking 3. The study lacks analytical measurement of test substance concentrations in the test solutions and sample purity is not sufficiently characterized. Additionally, there appears to be a discrepancy between the sample preparation directions given to the laboratory and the procedure conducted by the laboratory to prepare the test solutions. The absence of partial mortality at intermediate doses resulted in the sharp dose-response curve seen in this study. As a result, the LC5o values determined in this study may not accurately reflect the true toxicity of the solution. The low pH values in the high concentrations tested may have had an adverse affect on survival.

The acuta toxicity oi N2803-3 to tha fathead minnow, Pimmpbmlaa proawlas, ia daacribad in this final raport. Tha taat waa conductad for 3M Company for 36 houra from Saptambar 1 to S, 1995, at T.R. Hilbury Laboratoriaa, Inc. in Marblahaad, Kaaaachuaatta. It waa conductad by Jaanna Magazu, Jacqueline Maviua, Tatar Kowalski, Xeven Stavana, Tatar Naviua, Robert Boari, and Timothy Hard according to tha protocol developed for T.R. Hilbury Study Number S91-TB. N2803-3 was supplied by tha sponsor.
The test was performed under static conditions with five concentrations of test substance and a dilution water control at a temperature Of 21.8 to 22.6*C. Tha dilution water was filtered deionized water collected a t Marblehead, Massachusetts and adjusted to a hardness of 40-48 mg/L as CaCO}. Aeration waa initiated at 72 hours to maintain dissolved oxygen concentrations above an acceptable level.
The sample of N2803-3 supplied by tha sponsor was combined with
isopropanol in a 50:50 ratio prior to use, and this mixture is defined as
the test substance as-tested. A toxicity test was also conducted with
500 mg/L isopropanol and no mortality or sublethal effects were observed.
Results of the toxicity test are reported twice, onca based on nominal
concentrations of test substance as-tested and a second time based on
concentrations of test substance as-received (N2803-3 without
isopropanol). Nominal concentrations of N2803-3 as-tested wera 0
(control), 130, 220, 360, 600, and 1,000 mg/L and nominal concentrations
of N2803-3 as-received were 0 (control), 65, 110, 180, 300, and 500 mg/L'
and nominal. Fathead minnows used in the test were procured from a
commercial supplier and acclimated to test conditions at T.R. Hilbury
Laboratories. After 96 hours of exposure the control fish had an average
wet weight (blotted dry) of 0.35 g and an average total length of 33.4 mo.
All fish were in good condition at the beginning of the study.
V
Exposure of fathead minnows to the test substance resulted in a
96 hour median lethal concentration (LC50) of 280 mg/L N280J3-3, with a 95%
confidence interval of 220 to 360 mg/L and a 96 hour no observed effect
concentration (NOEC) of 220 mg/L, based on test substance as-tested (50t
N2803-3 and 50% isopropanol) .' The 96.hour LC50 is 140 mg/L N2803-3, with
a 95% confidence interval of 110 to^lSO mg/L and the 96 hour NOEC is
110 mg/L, based on -testsubstance.^ as-received (N2803-3 without

VIII. KBT80DS AND MATERIALS
TEST SUBSTANCE I
Tha sample of N2803-3 (T.R. Hi1bury Laboratories Sample Number 530) was delivered to T.R. Wilbury Laboratories on August 29, 1995 in a 5 gallon metal bucket within a cardboard box at ambient temperatura. It was contained in an approximately 200 ml glass jar. The label attached to the bottle included tha following information! "N2803-3, s. Beach, 2-3E09, (612) 778-7452, 8/22/95."
N2803-3 (a white solid) was supplied by 3M Company, St Paul, Minnesota. Prior to use tha sample of N2803-3 was stored in the dark at room temperature. Tha sample of N2803-3 supplied by the sponsor was combined with isopropanol in a 50:50 ratio prior to usa. This 50:50 mixture was then considered to be 100% test substance during tha performance of the toxicity test. All results axe reported both on tha basis of test substanca as-testad (50% N2803-3 and 50% isopropanol) and test substance as-recaivad (N2803-3 without isopropanol). The N2803-3 was assumed to have a purity of 100% active ingredient and to be stable under storage and testing conditions. Unused test substance will be returned to the sponsor.

During acclimation fish were not treated for disease, they were free of apparent sickness, injuries, and abnormalities at the beginning of the test, and mortality during tha final 49 hours of acclimation was less than 3t.
During the 14 day period before tha start of the test the acclimation temperature range was 21.0 to 22.3*C and the dissolved oxygen concentration was always at least 9.0 mg/L. During acclimation fish were fed a dry commercial food (Tetra Min* staple Food, Lot # TM05) daily except during the 49 hours immediately preceding the test. Fish were not fed during the test. At the conclusion of tha test the control fish had an average total length of 33.4 mm and an average wet weight of 0.35 g (loading during the definitive toxicity test was 0.23 g/L).
TOXICIT* TESTING:
A static screening test was conducted from August 19 t o '22,' 1995
with five concentrations of test substance as-received and a dilution
water control. Nominal concentrations of N2903-3 were 0.05, 0.50, 5.0,
50, and 500 mg/L. After 96 hours of exposure there was 100* survival .n'

Insoluble material was not noted during the teat. Biological and water quality data generated by the acute toxicity test are presented in Table 3 and 4 and Appendix A, respectively. The measured concentrations of dissolved oxygen ranged from 5.2 to 9.0 mg/L, the temperature ranged from 21.8 to 22.S*C, conductivity ranged from 110 to 370 pmhos/cm, and pH ranged from 3.0 to 7.6 (conductivity and pH rare affected by the test substance).' One hundred percent survival occurred in the control exposure and these fathead minnows did not exhibit any sublethal effects. During the toxicity test with 500 mg/L isopropanol no mortality or sublethal effects were observed and the 96 hour I.C50 value is greater than 500 mg/L.
The 24,"48, 72, and 96 hour LC50s for fathead minnows exposed to the test substance are presented in Table 5. The 96 hour LC50 for fathead minnows exposed to the test substance is 280 mg/L, with a 95% confidence interval of 220 to 360 mg/L and the 96 hour NOEC is 220 mg/L, based on test substance as-tested (50% N2803-3 and 50% isopropanol). The 96 hour LC50 is 140 mg/L, with a 95% confidence interval of 110 to 180 mg/L and the 96 hour NOEC is 110 mg/L, based on test substance as-received (N2B03-3 without isopropanol). The slope of the 96 hour dose response curve could not be determined with these data.

PROTOCOL AMENDMENTS I
3T .T
Th protocol was amended to specify that th test subatanca would ba comprised of 50% N2803-3 and 50% isopropanol, to note tha nominal concentrations for tha definitive test, and to note that an additional toxicity test would ba conducted with isopropanol.
%
PROTOCOL DEVIATIONS!
Dissolved oxygen concentrations were <60% saturation at 72 hr prior to aeration. Teat vessels were aerated prior to sponsor approval. : The slope of the dose response curve was not provided. In the isopropanol test,;not all fish were between 0.1 and 1.0 g. These' deviations did not affect the outcome of the study and no o t h e r deviations were made from the protocol.
