BIODEGRADATION (BOD/COD)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity: A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-780. (1Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3).
Rem arks: The 3M production lot number was not available. The test sample is FC-780. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 0.5% PFOS, 14% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 76.95% water, 5.5% urea, 1.0% Sultone foamer, 1.15% sodium octyl sulfate, 0.8% polyoxyethylene monooctylphenyl ether, 0.05% sodium lauryl sulfate, and 0.05% tolyltriazole.
The following is an abbreviated summary o f multiple biodegradation studies on FC-780. These studies apply to a mixture o f the test with incompletely characterized concentrations o f impurities. Data may not accurately reflect the biodegradability o f the fluorochemical component o f tiie test sample.
METHOD:________________________________________________________
Method: Specific methods not noted. Type: Aerobic BOD, Carbonaceous BOD, and Dichromate reflux COD GLP: No Y ear com pleted: 1982 C ontact tim e: 20 days Inoculum : Activated sludge mixed liquors from various sources.
RESULTS_____________________________________________________
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) range:
287,000 - 370,000 mg/kg
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) range:
5-Day:
24,000- 190,000mg/L
10-Day:
160,000 - 220,000 mg/L
20-Day:
210,000 - 250,000 mg/L
Carbonaceous-Biochemical Oxygen Demand (C-BOD) range:
5-Day:
20,000- 170,000mg/L
10-Day:
51,000 - 210,000 mg/L
20-Day:
220,000- 250,000mg/L

Subm itter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133 DATA QUALITY___________________________________________________ R eliability: Klimisch ranking - 3. The studies lack description and records of the method followed. The inoculum is not properly characterized. There is no characterization of the test substance purity, and the studies lack analytical confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical proportion in test solutions. REFERENCES__________________________________________ ,__________ Testing was conducted by multiple laboratories at the request of the 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, St. Paul, MN, Lab Request numbers 7736, 7737, and 7738.
