ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH (FATHEAD MINNOW)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may alsobe referredtoas PFOS, FC-95, or as a component ofFC-206 or L3243. (1-Octanesulfoniacid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was 501. The testsample isFC206. Currentinformationindicatesitisa 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 fluorochemicalcomponent of the testsample.

RESULTS
Nominal concentrations: Blank control5,00, 1250, 2500, 3750, and 5000 mg/L.
Element values: 96-hour LC50 = 1500 mg/L

CONCLUSIONS
The FC-206 96-hour LC50 forfatheadminnow was determined to be 1500 mg/L.
