ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH (BLUEGILL SUNFISH) TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonawthei,ch may alsobe referredtoas PFOS, FC-95, oras a component ofFC-206 or L3243. (1-Octanesulfonaiccid)(CAS #2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productiolnotnumber was 501. The testsample isFC206. Currentinformatioinndicatesitisa mixtureof0.67% PFOS, 17.5% diethyleneglycolbutylether,78.91% water,1.33% Sultonefoamer, 1% sodium octylsulfate0,.04% sodium laurylsulfate0,.5% polyoxyethylene monooctylphenylether,and 0.05% benzotriazole.
The followingsummary applies toa mixture with incompletely characterizedconcentrations ofimpurities.Data may not accurately reflecttoxicityof the fluorochemical component of the testsample.
