BIODEGRADATION (BOD/COD)
TEST SUBSTANCE_______________________________________ ____
Identity: Mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-3003. (1Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M production lot number was not given. The test sample is FC-3003, identified by the laboratory as R1331. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 1% PFOS, 15% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 79.39% water, 2% Sultone foamer, 1.5% sodium octyl sulfate, 1% sodium decyl sulfate, 0.06% sodium lauryl sulfate, and 0.05% benzotriazole.
The following summary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterized concentrations of impurities. Data may not accurately reflect degradation of the fluorochemical component of the test sample.
METHOD:__________________________________________________ _
Method: OECD Guideline. Type: Aerobic GLP: No Year completed: 1997 Contact time: 28 days Inoculum: Polyseed NX, Lot D257, Polybac Corporation, Bethelem, PA
RESULTS____________________________________________________
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD):
377,000 mg/kg
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD):
5-Day:
132,000 mg/kg
10-Day:
247,000 mg/kg
20-Day: 296,000 mg/kg
28-Day: 368,000 mg/kg
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_______________________________________________
No conclusions given.
