(Robust summary, MSDS and copies of data being provided to EPA) Data from Fathead Minnow Study on FC-93 (25% NH4 salt of PFOS in IPA and water), 3M Environmental Laboratory, Oct. 19,1974. (Robust summary, MSDS and copies of data being provided to EPA) BOD/COD results for FC-93 (25% NH4 salt of PFOS in IPA and water), 3M Environmental Laboratory. Completion date: July 18,1974. (Robust summary and copy of results being provided to EPA) 004599 P 7^ &s- / ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH TEST SUBSTANCE Identity: Perfluorooctanesulfonate, Ammonium salt; may also be referred to as PFOS NH4+salt or FC-93. (1-Octanesulfonic acid, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptadecafluoro-, ammonium salt, CAS #29081-56-9) Remarks; Test sample was taken from 3M production lot #1. The test sample is a mixture of the test substance in isopropanol and water (25% test substance, 20% isopropanol, 55% water). No calculations were made to adjust for the actual concentration of the test substance in the test sample. METHOD Method: Not noted. Type: Static acute GLP: No Year completed: 1974 Species: Pimephales promelas Supplier: Not noted. Analytical monitoring: pH and DO content Exposure period: 96-hours Statistical methods: Plotted LC50 Test fish age: Not noted. Length and weight: Average length = 2 inches, Average weight = 1.5 g Loading: Not noted. Pretreatment: Not noted Test conditions: Dilution water: carbon filtered city of St. Paul, MN water Dilution water chemistry: Not noted. Stock and test solution preparation: Not noted. Concentrations dosing rate: Once Stability of the test chemical solutions: Not noted. Exposure vessels: Not noted. Number of replicates: One. Number of concentrations: five plus a negative control Water chemistry during the study: Dissolved oxygen range (0 - 96 hours): 004600 5.0- 5.9 mg/L (control exposure) 4.2-5.0mg/L (100 mg/L exposure) pH range (0 - 96 hours) 7.0- 7.1 (control exposure) 7.0- 7.1 (100 mg/L exposure) Test temperature range (0 - 96 hours) 21 - 22C (70-72F) RESULTS Nominal concentrations: Bk control, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100 mg/L Element value: 96-hour LC50= 85 mg/L (C.l. not determined) Mortality of controls: None Remarks: 95% confidence limits were not calculated for this material. Additionally, testing was conducted on the mixture of the test substance in 20% isopropanol and 55% water. The value reported applies to that mixture and not the test substance. No attempt was made to determine the impact of the presence of the organic solvent or what portion of the toxicity can be contributed to the Perfluorooctanesulfonate, ammonium salt. CONCLUSIONS The test sample containing 25% Perfluorooctanesulfonate, ammonium salt exhibited a 96-hour LCsofor fathead minnow of 85 mg/L Submitter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O.
