Wildlife International. Ltd. 1- Project Number 454A-103A PFOS: A 96-HOUR TOXICITY TEST WITH THE FRESHWATER ALGA (Selenastrum capricornutum) ADDENDUM WILDLIFE INTERNATIONAL, LTD. PROJECT NUMBER: 454A-I03A 3M LAB REQUEST NO. U2723 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Series 850 - Ecological Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS Number 850.5400 and OECD Guideline 201 This study was reported using a test substance purity of 90.49%. The test substance characterization was revised on 9/7/00 and the purity was determined to be 86.9%. The Sponsor requested that the results be revised based on the most recent purity analyses. The results previously presented were simply corrected by the ratio of the two purities or a factor of 0.9603. No attempt was made to recalculate analytical standard concentrations or measured concentrations from original raw data. As such, minor errors due to rounding may be present. Attached is the revised summary page from the final report and the most recent certificate of analysis. Wildlife International.

No endotherm was observed for this sample. 4Suliur in the sample appears to be converted to SO4 and hence detected using the inorganic anion method conditions. The anion result agrees well with the sulfur determination in the elemental analysis, lending confidence to this interpretation. Based on the results, the SO4 is not considered an impurity.5 5TFA HFBA NFPA PFPA Trifluoroacetic acid Heptafluorobutyric acid Nonofluoropentanoic acid Pentafluoropropanoic acid th e o re tic al value calculations based on the empirical formula, CgFnSCViC (MW=53 8) This work was conducted under EPA Good Laboratory Practice Standards (4.0 CFR 160).
