ACUTE TO XICITY TO FISH (FATHEAD MINNOW )
TEST SUBSTANCE_______________________________________________
Identity: A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FX-601. (1Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M production lot number was cc 835-34. The test sample
is L-9235 (FX-601). Current information indicates it is a mixture of 1% PFOS, 12% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 81.25% water, 2% propane Sultone foamer, 1% sodium octyl sulfate, 1% sodium decyl sulfate, 0.1% N-(3-
chloroallyl) hexaminium chloride, 0.8% xanthan gum, 0.8% starch, and 0.05%
tolyltriazole.
The following summary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterized concentrations o f impurities. Data may not accurately reflect the toxicity o f the fluorochemical component o f the test sample.
METHOD:________________________________________________________
Method: Not given.
Type: Acute static-renewal range-finder
GLP: No
Year com pleted: 1984
Species: Pimephales promelas
Supplier: Commercial supplier, Brady, NE.
Analytical m onitoring: Temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen.
Exposure period: 96-hours
Statistical m ethods: LCso values not calculated based on study results.
Test fish age: Juveniles
Length and weight:
Average length - 35.4 mm
Average weight = 0.312 g (wet)
Loading: 0.52 g/L
Pretreatm ent: 250 mg/L Tetracycline HCI.
Test conditions:
Dilution w ater: Carbon-filtered well water.
Dilution w ater chem istry:
Hardness:
250 mg/L as CaC03
A lkalinity:
240 mg/L as CaCOz
Conductivity: 350 pmhos/cm
Lighting: A daily photoperiod of 16 hours light and 8 hours dark with a 15 to -
30 minute transition period was maintained throughout the testing period. Stock and test solution preparation: The test material was added directly to the dilution water on a weight/volume basis. Concentrations dosing rate: Test solutions renewed. Stability o f the test chem ical solutions: Not noted.
002093
Exposure vessels: 1 gallon all-glass round tanks containing 3 L test solution.
Num ber o f replicates: 1 , except for highest concentration and blank
controls. Num ber o f fish per replicate: 5. Num ber o f concentrations: five plus a blank control W ater chem istry during the study:
pH range (0-96 hours):
8.0 - 8.1 (control exposure) 7.8 - 8.1 (1000 mg/L exposure)
Tem perature range (0-96 hours): 20 - 22 C Dissolved oxygen range (0-96 hours):
6.5 - 9.4 mg/L (control exposure) 0.5 - 9.4 mg/L (1000 mg/L exposure)
R E S U LTS ________________________________ ____ ____________________
Nom inal concentrations: Blank control, 1 ,1 0 ,1 0 0 , 500, and 1000 mg/L. The blank control and 1000 mg/L exposure solutions were evaluated in duplicate.
Elem ent values: 96-hour LCso = >1000 mg/L
Element values based on nominal concentrations
Rem arks: Testing was conducted on a mixture as described in the Test Substance Remarks field. The values reported apply to that mixture and not the fluorochemical proportion alone.
CONCLUSIONS _________________________________________________
The test sample 96-hour LC50for fathead minnow was determined to be
>1000 mg/L, the highest concentration tested. Ten percent mortality was observed in this concentration when the replicates are viewed as combined.
Subm itter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133
DATA QUALITY___________________________________________________
R eliability: Klimisch ranking = 3. The study is a range-finding, with limited test organisms. There is a lack of characterization of the test sample and the study lacks analytical confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical proportion in the solutions.
