ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH (FATHEAD MINNOW)
JIEST ~~ SUBSTANCE
Identity: A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-206 or L3243. (1-Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M production lot number was 501. The test sample is FC206. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 0.67% PFOS, 17.5%
diethylene glycol butyl ether, 78.91% water, 1.33% Sultone foamer, 1%
sodium octyl sulfate, 0.04% sodium lauryl sulfate, 0.5% polyoxyethylene
monooctylphenyl ether, and 0.05% benzotriazole.
The following summary applies to a mixture with incompletely
characterized concentrations of impurities. Data may not accurately reflect toxicity of the fluorochemical component of the test sample.

Number of concentrations: five plus a blank control
Water chemistry during the study:
Temperature range (0-96 hours): 21-22 c

PH range (0-96 hours): 67..07--67..90 mmg/gL ((c1o2n5t0rolmoelxlpoesxuproes)ure)"
Dissol5ve.d05ox.y5gmegnlLra(ncgonetr(o0l-9e6xphoosuurrse)):
4.0-52 mg/L (1250 mg/L exposure)* * 1250 mg/L (intermediate concentration) exposure values used
because the highest three concentrations resulted in total mortality by
72 hours.
ESOS

Nominal concentrations: Blank control, 500, 1250, 2500, 3750, and 5000 moll
Element values: 96-hour LCs = 1500 mgll
Element values based on nominal concentrations
Remarks: Testing was conducted on the mixture as described in the Test
Substance Remarks field. The values reported apply to that mixture and not
the fluorochemical proportion alone.
conclusions
The FC-206 96-hour LCs for fathead minnow was determined to be 1500
mglL.
Submitter: 3M Company, Environmerital Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133
patAQuALTY Reliability: Kiimisch ranking 3. Testing lacks record of methodology used
and documentation. The sample purity was not properly characterized and -
the study lacks analytical confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical
proportion in the solution.
