ACUTE TOXICITY 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 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.

Water chemistry during the study:
001526
pH range (0-72 hours): 7.3 - 7.3 (control exposure) 7.0 - 7.1 (10000 mg/L soil exposure)
Temperature range (0-96 hours): 48 - 49 F Dissolved oxygen range (0-96 hours):
7.6 - 8.3 mg/L (control exposure) 5.3 - 7.9 mg/L (10000 mg/L soil exposure)
RESULTS____________________________________________________
Nominal concentrations: Blank control, no soil control, 10,100,1000, and 10000 mg/L soil.
Element values: None given.
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.
Submitter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133
DATA QUALITY_______________________________________________
Reliability: Klimisch 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.
