ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:Perfluorooctanoiaccid;may alsobe referredtoas PFOA, FC26, or FX-1001. (Octanoicacid,pentadecafluoro-C,AS # 33567-1)
Remarks: 3M productiolnotnumber 269. The testsample isFC-26. It'psuritywas not sufficientclhyaracterizedt,hough currentinformation indicatesitisa mixtureof 96.5 - 100% testsubstance and 0 -3.5% C6, C7, and Cg perfluorohomologue compounds.

Number of replicates:one Number offish per replicate:Not noted. Number of concentrations: fiveplus a blank control Water chemistry during the study:
Dissolved oxygen range (24 - 96 hours): 4.7 - 5.7 mg/L (controlexposure) 3.8- 5.2mg/L (375mg/L exposure)*
pH range (24- 96 hours): 7.0- 7.2 (controelxposure) 6.0- 6.7 (375 mg/L exposure)*
375 mg/L testgroup (secondhighestconcentrationd)ata given because totalmortalitoyccurredinthe 500 mg/L testgroup (highest concentratiotnested)by 48 hours. Test temperature (24- 96 hours): 69 to 70'F
RESULTS
Nominal concentrations: Bk control,50, 125,250, 375, and 500 mg/L Element value: 96-hour LC50 = 440 mg/L (C.I.notcalculated)
Element valuebased on nominal concentrations
CONCLUSIONS
The testsample 96-hour LC5o forfatheadminnow was determinedto be 440 mg/L.
