ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH (FATHEAD MINNOW)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may alsobe referredto as PFOS, FC-95, oras a component of FX-3103. (1Octanesulfoniaccid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was notnoted. The testsample isFX-3103, 3%. Currentinformatioinndicatesitisa mixtureof0.96% PFOS,
20% diethyleneglycolbutylether,50.56% water,15% ethyleneglycol,4.32% sodium octylsulfate6,.0% polyoxyethylenemonooetylphenylether,2.5% propane sultonefoamer,0.5% sodium nitrate0,.06% sodium laurylsulfate, and 0.1% benzotriazole.
The followingsummary appliesto a mixture with incompletely characterizedconcentradons of impudties. Data may not accurately reflectthe toxicityof the fluorochemical component of the testsample.
