PROJECT NUMBER: 454-109 TEST DATES: Study Initiation - January 22, 2001 Experimental Start - January 23, 2001 Photostimulation - April 4, 2001 First Eggs Set - April 13, 2001 Adult Termination - June 20-21, 2001 Analytical Termination - April 11, 2002 Biological Termination - July 26, 2001 Experimental Termination - April 11, 2002 TEST ANIMALS: Mallard (Anasplatyrhynchos) AGE TEST ANIMALS: 24 weeks of age at the initiation of the test SOURCE TEST ANIMALS: Whistling Wings, Inc. 113 Washington Street Hanover, IL 61041-0509 U.S.A. NOMINAL TEST CONCENTRATIONS: 0, 10, 50, and 150 ppm a.i. RESULTS: There were treatment-related mortalities, overt signs of toxicity and treatment-related effects upon adult body weight at the 50 and 150 ppm a.i. test concentrations. There were also treatment-related effects upon feed consumption at the 150 ppm a.i. test concentration. The 50 and 150 ppm a.i. test concentrations were terminated prior to the reproductive phase of the test. There were no treatment-related mortalities, overt signs of toxicity, or treatment-related effects upon body weight, feed consumption or reproductive performance at the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration. However, there was an increased incidence of small testes for males in the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration that may have been related to treatment. Based on the effects observed at the 10 ppm a.i test concentration, the no-observed-effect concentration for mallards exposed to PFOS in the diet was determined to be less than 10 ppm a.i., the lowest concentration tested during this study. Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 -10 - INTRODUCTION This study was conducted by Wildlife International, Ltd. for 3M Corporation at the Wildlife Inter national, Ltd. avian toxicology facility in Easton, Maryland 21601. The biological portion of the test was conducted from January 23, 2001 until July 26, 2001. Raw data generated at Wildlife International, Ltd. and a copy of the final report are filed under Project Number 454-109 in archives located on the Wildlife International, Ltd. site. Biological specimens are stored at 3M Corporation, St. Paul, MN 55133. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects upon the adult mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) of dietary exposure to the potassium salt of Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid (hereafter referred to as PFOS) over a period of approximately 21 weeks. Effects on adult health, body weight, and feed consumption were evaluated. In addition, the effects of adult exposure to PFOS on the number of eggs laid, fertility, embryo viability, hatchability, offspring survival, and egg shell thickness were evaluated. Histopathological examination of selected tissues and analyses of blood and tissue samples were also used to evaluate the effects upon adults exposed to PFOS and then offspring. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Mallard (80 males and 80 females) were randomly distributed into one control group and three treatment groups. The test concentrations were selected in consultation with the Sponsor, based upon the results o f a pilot reproduction study (W ild life International, Ltd. Project N um ber 4 5 4 -1 0 5 ) and additional toxicity information provided by the Sponsor. Group 1 2 3 4 PFOS Treatment Groups Nominal Concentration (ppma.i.)

Project Number 454-109 - 11 - Each treatment and control group contained 16 pairs of birds with one male and one female per pen. Four additional pairs of birds were added to each test level (for a total of 20 pairs per level) and maintained for collection of blood samples during the test. Three treatment groups were fed diets containing either 10, 50, or 150 ppm a.i. of PFOS. The control group was fed diet comparable to the treatment groups, but without the addition of the test substance. Because overt signs of toxicity and treatment-related mortalities were noted at the 150 ppm a.i. test concentration, the dietary concentration for the 150 ppm a.i. treatment level was reduced to 20 ppm a.i. of PFOS at the beginning of Week 3 of the test. The 20 ppm a.i. level was terminated at the beginning of Week 5 of the test due to the limited recovery of birds at this test concentration. For reporting purposes, the 150/20 ppm a.i. test concentration will be referred to as the 150 ppm a.i. concentration. Adults in the 50 ppm a.i. test concentrations were euthanized at the end of Week 7 of the test due to treatment-related mortality and overt signs of toxicity. Therefore, the test was completed with the control group and the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration only. All adult birds were observed daily throughout the test for signs of toxicity or abnormal behavior. Adult body weights were measured at test initiation, on Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and at adult termination and feed consumption was measured weekly throughout the test. At the beginning of Week 11, the photoperiod was increased to induce egg production. Following the start of egg production, eggs were set weekly for incubation. W eek ly, eg g s w ere selected by indiscrim inate draw for eg g shell thickness m easurem ent and all remaining eggs were candled prior to incubation to detect egg shell cracks or abnormal eggs. Eggs were also candled twice during incubation to detect infertile eggs or embryo mortality. On Day 24 of incubation, the eggs were placed in a hatcher and allowed to hatch. Once hatching was completed, hatchlings were removed from the hatcher and the group body weight of the hatchlings by pen was determined. At 34 days of age, the average body weight by parental pen of all surviving offspring was determined. Upon completion of the test, statistical analyses were performed to determine statistically significant differences between groups. Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 -12 - MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted according to the procedures outlined in the protocol, "PFOS: A Reproduction Study with the Mallard". The protocol was based on procedures outlined in the Environ mental Protection Agency's Registration Guidelines Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, FIFRA Subdivision E, Hazard Evaluation: Wildlife and Aquatic Organisms, Subsection 71-4; OECD Guideline 206; and the ASTM "Standard Practicefo r Conducting Reproductive Studies with Avian Species" (1,2,3). Test Substance The test substance, PFOS, was received from 3M Corporation on October 29, 1998 and was assigned Wildlife International, Ltd. identification number 4675 upon receipt. The test substance was a white powder and was identified as: FC-95; Lot 217. The test material had a reported purity of 86.9% and expiration date of August 31, 2006 (Appendix 1). The test substance was held under ambient conditions in locked storage at the Wildlife International, Ltd. facilities in Easton, Maryland. Concentra tions of the test substance in the diet were adjusted to 100% active ingredient. Therefore, dietary concentrations are expressed as parts per million active ingredient (ppm a.i.) in the diet. Test Organisms Approximately 84 pairs of pen-reared mallard were purchased from Whistling Wings, Inc., 113 Washington Street, Hanover, IL 61041-0509, U.S.A. At the start of acclimation, the mallard were apparently healthy and phenotypically indistinguishable from wild type. The birds were from the same hatch, approaching their first breeding season and had not been used in any previous testing. At the start of acclimation, a random number generating function in a spreadsheet program was used to randomize pen assignment for each bird. Immediately prior to test initiation, all potential study birds were examined for physical injuries and general health. Birds that did not appear healthy, cither due to injury or inability to acclimate to laboratory conditions, or were outside the weight range for the test, were excluded from the study. All birds were 24 weeks of age at test initiation (first day of exposure to test diet) and ranged in weight from 781 to 1444 grams at test initiation. Sex of the birds was determined by a visual examination of the plumage. Identification Adult birds were identified by individual leg bands, each pen was identified with a unique number, and groups of pens were identified by project number and concentration. All eggs laid during the study 01 Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 - 13 - were marked with the pen number using a permanent ink marking pen for identification. Hatchlings were identified by wing bands so that they could be traced to their parental pen of origin. Avian Feed and Water All adult birds and their offspring were given feed and water ad libitum during acclimation and testing. The basal diet fed to both adults and offspring was formulated to Wildlife International, Ltd. specifications by Agway Inc. (Appendix II). The basal ration contained at least 27% protein and 2.5% fat, and no more than 5% fiber. The basal diet contained approximately 1.1% calcium, derived from feedstuffs and the 0.9% limestone used in the formulation of the basal diet by Agway. While this level of calcium is sufficient for growth and maintenance rations, additional calcium is required in the ration of breeding birds for egg shell formation. Therefore, an additional 5% (w/w) of limestone (approximately 38.5% Ca) was added to the basal diet for the adults. This raised the calcium level in the diet for the breeding birds to approximately 3%, slightly above the minimum recommended for quail (2.3%) and mallard (2.75%) (4). Offspring received basal diet without test substance and without the addition of 5% supplemental limestone. Water was supplied by the town of Easton public water supply. Neither the adults nor offspring r e c e iv e d a n y fo rm o f m e d ic a tio n in the fe e d d uring the test. F eed and w ater w ere a n a ly z e d p e r io d ic a lly in accordance with Wildlife International, Ltd. Standard Operating Procedures. Diet Preparation Test diets were prepared by mixing PFOS into a premix that was used for weekly preparation of the final diet. Control diet and each of the three treated diets were prepared weekly beginning on January 23, 2001 and presented to the birds on Tuesday of each week. Dietary concentrations were adjusted for purity of the test substance and are presented as parts per million active ingredient (ppm a.i.). Details of the weekly preparation of test and control diets are shown in Appendix III. Diet Sampling Homogeneity of the test substance in the diet was evaluated by collecting six samples from each of the treated diets and one sample from the control diet on Day 0 of Week 1. Samples were collected from G ?' ..J u , . Wildlife International, Ltd, Project Number 454-109 - 14 - the top, middle and bottom of the left and right sections of the mixing vessel. Control and treatment group diet samples were also collected from the feed troughs on Day 7 of Week 1 to assess stability of the test substance under actual test conditions. Additionally, a sample was collected from the control and treatment group diets, when available, during Weeks 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 of the test to measure/verify test concentrations. The diet samples were stored frozen or transferred immediately to the Wildlife International, Ltd. analytical chemistry facility for analysis. Analytical Method The method used for the analysis of PFOS in avian diet was based upon methodology developed at Wildlife International, Ltd. and entitled "Analytical Method Verification for the Determination of PFOS in Avian Diet" (Wildlife International, Ltd. Project No. 454C-110). Three modifications from the cited methodology were incorporated into the present study. These changes were (1) the use of high performance liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole mass detection (HPLC/MS/MS) rather than single quadrupole mass detection to reduce potential matrix interferences, (2) the elimination of the internal standardization procedure because an appropriate internal standard could not be identified, and (3) the use of a shorter (50 mm vs. 100 mm) analytical chromatography column to expedite analysis time. Samples were extracted with methanol, vacuum filtered, diluted in methanol, and then diluted in a 50:50 methanol: NANOpure water dilution solvent so that they fell within the calibration range of the P F O S m e th o d o lo g y . A m e th o d flo w chart is p r o v id e d in A p p e n d ix IV, F ig u re 1. C o n cen tra tio n s of PFOS in the standards and extracts of the samples were determined by reverse-phase HPLC/MS/MS using a Hewlett-Packard Model 1100 High Performance Liquid Chromatograph interfaced with a PerkinElmer API 3000 Mass Spectrometer operated in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) detection mode. The mass spectrometer was equipped with a Perkin-Elmer TurboIonSpray ion source. HPLC separations were achieved using a Keystone Betasil C| analytical column (50 mm x 2 mm I.D., 3-pm particle size) fitted with a Keystone Javelin C)SGuard Cartridge (20 mm x 2 mm I.D.). The instrument parameters are summarized in Appendix IV, Table 1. Calibration standards were prepared in 50:50 methanol: NANOpure water by appropriate dilutions of a 1.00 mg a.i./L stock solution of PFOS in methanol. The calibration standards, ranging in concentration from 0.00100 to 0.0100 mg a.i./L, were analyzed with each sample set. The same and most prominent peak response for PFOS was utilized to monitor PFOS in all calibration, quality control, and Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 - 15 - study samples. No attempt was made to quantify PFOS on the basis of individual isomeric components. Linear regression equations were generated using the peak area responses versus the respective concentrations of the calibration standards. An example of a calibration curve is presented in Appendix IV, Figure 2. The concentration of PFOS in avian feed samples was determined by substituting the peak areas into the applicable linear regression equation. Typical ion chromatograms of low and high calibration standards are shown in Appendix IV, Figure 3 and 4, respectively. Examples of equations used in calculations are presented in Appendix IV, Table 2. The instrument limit of detection (LOD) for these analyses was 10.0 pg on-column, calculated from the product of the injection volume (10.0 pL) and the lowest standard concentration 1.00 pg a.i./L = 1.00 pg a.i./pL. The method limit of quantitation (LOQ) for these analyses was 2.00 ppm a.i., calculated as the product of the lowest calibration standard analyzed (0.001 mg a.i./L) and the overall dilution factor of the matrix blank sample (2000 L/Kg). Examples of calculations are presented in Appendix IV, Table 2. Along with the sample analyses, seven matrix blanks were analyzed to determine possible interferences. No interferences were observed at or above the LOQ during the sample analyses (Appendix IV, Table 3). A typical ion chromatogram of a matrix blank is presented in Appendix IV, Figure 5. Avian diet samples were fortified at the following levels and analyzed concurrently with the samples to determine the mean procedural recovery. The fortification levels were 5.00, 50.0, and 200 ppm a.i. for sampling intervals Week 1, Day 0; Week 1, Day 7; Week 2, Day 0; and Week 3, Day 0. The fortification levels were 5.00, 25.0, and 100 ppm a.i. for sampling interval Week 4, DayO. The fortification levels were 5.00 and 25.0 ppm a.i. for sampling intervals Week 8, Day 0; Week 12, Day 0; Week 16, Day 0; and Week 20, Day 0. The method yielded mean procedural recoveries of 101%, 101%, 102%, 100% and 99%, respectively, for the 5.00, 25.0, 50.0, 100, and 200 ppm a.i. fortification levels (Appendix IV, Table 3). Sample measured concentrations were not corrected for the mean procedural recoveries. A typical ion chromatogram of a matrix fortification is presented in Appendix IV, Figure 6. Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 - 16 - Study Phases The primary phases of the study and their approximate durations were: 1. Acclimation - 3 weeks. 2. Pre-photostimulation - 10 weeks. 3. Pre-egg laying (with photostimulation) - 0 weeks. 4. Egg laying - Approximately 10 weeks. 5. Post-adult termination (final incubation, hatching, and 14-day offspring rearing period) - 5 weeks. Housing and Environmental Conditions Housing and husbandry practices were conducted so as to adhere to the guidelines established by the National Research Council (5). The adult birds were housed indoors in batteries of pens manufac tured by Safeguard Products, Inc. (Model No. 5355), measuring approximately 75 X 90 X 45 cm high. The pens were constructed of vinyl-coated wire mesh. A diagram of the test layout is presented in Appendix V. Each pen was equipped with a feed trough. Weekly, sufficient feed for the feeding period was placed in the trough for each pen and presented to the birds. During the feeding period additional feed was weighed and added to the troughs as needed. Water was supplied by nipple-type waterers. Only birds associated with this study were maintained in the study room in order to avoid excessive disturbances. The average temperature in the adult mallard study room during the course of the test was 21.7C 1.1C (SD) with an average relative humidity of 40% 19% (SD). The air handling system in the study room was designed to vent up to 15 room air volumes every hour and replace them with fresh air. The photoperiod in the adult mallard room was maintained by a time clock. The photoperiod during acclimation and the first 10 weeks of the test was eight hours or less of light per day. The photoperiod was increased to 17 hours of light per day at the beginning of Week 11 to induce egg laying and was maintained at that length until the adult birds were euthanized. Throughout the test, the birds received a mean of approximately 188 lux (~ 17 ft. candles) of illumination provided by fluorescent lights that closely approximated noon-day sunlight. Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 - 17 - Observations The test birds were acclimated to the facilities and study pens for approximately 3 weeks prior to initiation of the test. During acclimation, all birds were observed daily. Birds exhibiting abnormal behavior or debilitating physical injuries were not used for the test. During the study, all adult birds were observed daily for signs of toxicity or abnormal behavior. Additionally, all offspring were observed daily from hatching until 14 days of age. A record was maintairied of all mortalities and clinical observations. Adult Body Weight and Feed Consumption Adult body weights were measured at test initiation, on Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and at adult termination. Body weights were not measured during egg laying because of the possible adverse effects handling may have on egg production. Feed consumption for each pen was measured weekly throughout the test. Feed consumption was determined by weighing the freshly filled feeder on Day 0, recording the amount of any additional diet added during the week, and weighing the feeder and remaining feed at the end of the feeding period (Day 7). The amount of feed wasted by the birds was not quantified, since the wasted feed was normally scattered and mixed with water and excreta. Therefore, feed consumption is presented as an estimate of total feed consumption. A d u lt B lood C ollection Four additional pairs of adult birds were added to each test level to be maintained for collection of blood samples during the test. These pairs received the same diet and were handled in the same manner as other pairs in their test group. However, because of the potential stress of the blood collection procedures, data from the four additional pairs were not used to evaluate treatment-related effects. Blood samples were collected from birds in these designated pairs, when possible, at five week intervals throughout the test. At the time of adult termination, blood samples were collected from all surviving birds, when possible, prior to euthanasia. All blood samples were separated into serum and hemacytes/platelets, stored frozen and shipped to the sponsor or sponsor's designate for possible analysis. Adult Necropsy and Tissue Collection When the remaining birds from 150/20 pm a.i. treatment group were euthanized at the end of the Week 4, no necropsies were performed. All other adult birds that died or were euthanized during the f.*n* C' * Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 - 18- course of the study were subjected to a gross necropsy. At the conclusion of the exposure period, all surviving adult birds were euthanized by cervical dislocation, necropsied, and disposed of by incineration. At the time of necropsy, tissues were collected for histopathological examination and possible analyses. When available, samples of gall bladder, liver, proventriculus, kidneys, brain, gonads, bursa of Fabricius and adipose tissue were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and shipped to EPL in Herndon, VA for histopathology. When available, samples of bile, liver, proventriculus, kidneys, brain, reproductive organs and adipose tissue were stored frozen and shipped to the Sponsor for possible analysis. Fecal samples were also collected, when available, from the lower digestive tract and stored frozen for possible analysis. Egg Collection and Storage Eggs were collected daily from all pens, when available. Eggs to be incubated were washed to reduce the possibility of pathogen contamination before storing them in the cold room. Eggs were washed in a commercial egg washer (Kuhl Egg Washer) with a chlorine based detergent (Kuhl Super CD). Water in the washer was warmed to approximately 45C. The eggs were placed in the wash water and soaked for approximately 15 seconds. The washer's circulation motor was then turned on for approximately three minutes. The eggs were removed from the washer, allowed to cool to approximately room temperature and rinsed with fresh water. The eggs were then stored in a cold room until incubation. The cold room was maintained at a mean temperature of 13.5C 0.2C (SD) with a mean relative humidity of approximately 69% 6% (SD). Groups of eggs were identified by an alphabetic lot code. All eggs laid in a weekly interval were considered as one lot. Candling and Incubation At the end of the weekly interval, all eggs were removed from the cold room, counted and eggs selected by indiscriminate draw for egg shell thickness measurement. The remaining eggs were candled with a Speed King (Model No. 32) egg-candling lamp to detect egg shell cracks or abnormal eggs. Cracked or abnormal eggs were recorded and discarded. All eggs not discarded or used for egg shell thickness measurements were placed in a Petersime Incubator (Model No. SP20). In the incubator the temperature was maintained at an average 37.5C 0.0C (SD) with an average wet bulb temperature of 30.5C 0.3C (SD) (relative humidity of approximately 60%). The incubator was equipped with a pulsator fan and blades that produced a mild Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 - 19 - breathing air movement designed to eliminate intracabinet temperature and humidity variation during incubation. In order to prevent adhesion of the embryo to the shell membrane, the incubator was also equipped with an automatic egg rotation device, designed to rotate the eggs from 50 off of vertical in one direction to 50 off of vertical in the opposite direction (total arc of rotation was 100) every two hours through Day 24 of incubation. Eggs were candled on Day 13 or 14 of incubation ,to determine embryo viability and on Day 21 to determine embryo survival. Hatching and Brooding On Day 24 of incubation, the eggs were placed in a Petersime Hatcher (Model No. SP-6H) and allowed to hatch. Pedigree baskets constructed of galvanized steel wire mesh were used to keep hatchlings separated by parental pen of origin. Eggs were not rotated in the hatcher. The average temperature in the hatching compartment was 37.2C 0.0C (SD), and the average wet bulb temperature was raised to 33.8C 0.2C (SD) (relative humidity of approximately 80%). All hatchlings, unhatched eggs, and egg shells were removed from the hatcher on Day 27 or 28 of incubation. The group body weight of the surviving hatchlings by pen was determined. Hatchlings were wing banded for identification by pen of origin and then routinely housed according to the appropriate parental concentration grouping in brooding pens until 14 days of age. The hatchlings were fed untreated diet without the addition of 5% supplemental limestone. At 14 days of age, the average body weight by parental pen of all surviving ducklings was determined. The ducklings were euthanized with carbon dioxide and disposed of by incineration. Hatchlings were housed in batteries of brooding pens manufactured by Safeguard Products, Inc. Each pen measured approximately 62 X 92 X 25.5 cm high. The walls, floors and ceilings of each pen were constructed of vinyl-coated wire mesh. Thermostats in the brooding compartment of each pen were set to maintain a temperature of approximately 38C from the time of hatching until the birds were five to seven days of age, when the temperature was adjusted maintain a temperature of approximately 29C. The average ambient room temperature was 24.2C 1.2C (SD) with an average relative humidity of 77% 15% (SD). The photoperiod for the hatchlings was maintained by a time clock at 16 hours of light per day. COI Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 - 20 - Offspring Blood and Tissue Collection Prior to euthanasia of the last group of offspring (Lot J), blood samples were collected from 10 offspring in both the control group and 10 ppm a.i. treatment group. All blood samples were separated into serum and hemacytes/platelets, stored frozen and shipped to the sponsor for possible analyses. Additionally, tissues from the 10 offspring in each group were collected for histopathological examination. When available, samples of gall bladder, liVer, proventriculus, kidneys, brain, gonads, bursa of Fabricius and adipose tissue were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and shipped to EPL in Herndon, VA for histopathology. When available, samples of bile, liver, proventriculus, kidneys, brain, reproductive organs and adipose tissue were stored frozen and shipped to the sponsor for possible analyses. Fecal samples were also collected from pans below the floor of brooders housing Lot J offspring and stored frozen for possible analysis. A single composite sample was collected for the control group and a single composite sample was collected for the 10 ppm a.i. treatment group. Egg Shell Thickness Measurements and Egg Components Collection Weekly throughout the egg laying period one egg was collected, when available, from each of the test pens. Eggs were collected from odd numbered pens during odd numbered weeks (1,3,5, etc.) and from the even numbered pens during the even numbered weeks (2,4,6, etc.). The eggs from weeks 1, 2 and 10 were separated into albumen, yolk, shell and membrane and all components were stored frozen. Eggs collected during weeks 3-9 were opened at the waist and their contents removed. The egg contents w e r e sep arated into a lb u m en and y o lk and the y o lk w a s stored fro zen . All egg sa m p le s w e r e transferred to the Sponsor for possible analysis. The shells from Weeks 3 through 9 were allowed to air dry for at least one week at room temperature prior to being measured for thickness. The average thickness of the dried shell plus the membrane was determined by measuring five points around the waist of the egg using a micrometer. Measurements were made to the nearest 0.002 mm. Statistical Analyses Upon completion of the test, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine statistically significant differences between groups. Dunnett's multiple comparison procedure (6,7) was used to compare the three treatment means with the control group mean and assess the statistical significance of the observed differences. Sample units were the individual pens within each experimental group, except adult body weights where the sample unit was the individual bird. Percentage data were examined using Dunnett's method following arcsine square root transformation (see Appendix VI for 01 Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 -21 - reproductive parameters). With the exception of liver weight, statistical analysis of the data was performed using Avian Reproduction Data System (ARDS) Software; a validated software package developed by Wildlife International, Ltd. (8). Liver weights were compared by Student's t-test using Microsoft Excel. Each of the following parameters was analyzed statistically: t 1. Adult Body Weight - Individual body weight was measured at test initiation, Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8 and at adult termination. Statistical comparisons were made between the control group and each treatment group at each weighing interval by sex. 2. Adult Feed Consumption - Feed consumption expressed as grams of feed per bird per day was examined by pen weekly during the test. Statistical comparisons were made between the control and each treatment group. 3. Eggs Laid of Maximum Laid - The number of eggs laid per female divided by the largest number of eggs laid by any one female. This transformation was used to convert the number of eggs laid to a percentile value less than or equal to 100. 4. Eggs Cracked of Eggs Laid - The number of eggs determined by candling to be cracked divided by the number of eggs laid, per pen. 5. Viable Embryos of Eggs Set - The number of viable embryos at the Day 14 candling was divided by the number of eggs set, per pen. 6. Live 3-Week Embryos of Viable Embryos - The number of live embryos at the Day 21 candling w as divided by the num ber o f viable em bryos, per pen. 7. Hatchlings of 3-Week Embryos - The number of hatchlings removed from the hatcher was divided by the number of live 3-week embryos, per pen. 8. 14-Dav Old Survivors of Hatchlings - The number of 14-day old survivors was divided by the number of hatchlings per week, by pen. 9. Hatchlings of Eggs Set - The number of hatchlings was divided by the number of eggs set per week, by pen. 10. 14-Dav Old Survivors of Eggs Set - The number of 14-day old survivors was divided by the number of eggs set per week, by pen. 11. Hatchlings of Maximum Set - The number of hatchlings per female divided by the largest number of eggs set from any one female. This transformation was used to convert the number of hatch lings to a percentile value equal to or less than 100. 001403 Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 -22 - 12. 14-Dav Old Survivors of Maximum Set - The number of 14-day old survivors per pen divided by the largest number of eggs set. 13. Egg Shell Thickness - The average egg shell thickness of indiscriminately selected eggs per pen was measured. 14. Offspring's Body Weight - The group body weights of surviving hatchlings and 14-day old survivors were measured by parental pen group. 15. Liver Weight - Individual liver weights were measured at adult termination and at termination of selected Lot J offspring. Statistical comparisons were made by sex between the control group and 10 ppm a.i. group. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Mature mallards received PFOS at nominal dietary concentrations of 10, 50, and 150 ppm a.i. Due to extensive overt signs of toxicity and treatment-related mortalities in the 50 and 150 ppm a.i. treatment groups, the experimental design was modified. Adults in the 50 ppm a.i. test concentrations were euthanized at the end of Week 7 of the test. The dietary concentration for the 150 ppm a.i. treatment level was reduced to 20 ppm a.i. of PFOS at the beginning of Week 3 of the test. The 20 ppm a.i. level was terminated at the beginning of Week 5 of the test due to the limited recovery of birds at this level. Therefore, the test was completed with the control group and 10 ppm a.i. test concentrations only. The control group was fed diet comparable to the treatment groups, but without the addition of the test substance. Diet Analytical Results None of the control samples showed any indication of the presence of the test substance or of the presence of co-eluting substances at the characteristic retention time of the test substance. Diet samples were collected from the 10, 50 and 150 ppm a.i. test concentrations on Week 1, Day 0, and were analyzed to evaluate the homogeneity of the test substance in the diet and to verify test substance concentrations. Means and standard deviations for the three test concentrations were 9.75 0.313 ppm a.i., 50.1 0.981 ppm a.i. and 147 4.31 ppm a.i., respectively. The coefficients of variation were 3.21%, 1.96% and 2.93%, respectively. These values represented 98%, 100%, and 98% of nominal concentrations (Appendix IV, Table 4). G' Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 -23 - Samples collected throughout the test to verify test substance concentrations for the 10, 20, 50, and 150 ppm a.i. diets had means and standard deviations of 10.2 0.553 ppm a.i., 20.8 2.14 ppm a.i., 50.9 2.04 ppm a.i, and 161 15.6 ppm a.i., respectively. The coefficients of variation were 5.44%, 10.3%, 4.01% and 9.66%, respectively. These values represented 102, 104, 102, and 108% of nominal concentrations (Appendix IV, Table 5). Analysis of diet samples collected from feeders after being held at ambient temperature for 7 days averaged 100%, 101% and 97% of the Day 0 values for the 10, 50 and 150 ppm a.i. test concentrations, respectively (Appendix IV, Table 6). A typical ion chromatogram of a test sample is shown in Appendix IV, Figure 7. Mean weekly measured concentrations for each test group are presented in Table 1. Mortalities While there was one incidental mortality in the control group, there were no mortalities in the 10 ppm a.i. treatment group. Three incidental mortalities and ten treatment-related mortalities occurred in the 50 ppm a.i. treatment group and four treatment-related mortalities occurred in the 150 ppm a.i. treatment group. The single incidental mortality in the control group was a male (Pen 210) that died during Week 15 of the test. Gross necropsy of the drake revealed foot lesions on both feet. Internally, hemorrhages were noted in the myocardium, the abdominal air sacs were cloudy and the spleen was enlarged and mottled. Additionally, the liver was firm, mottled and pale, the kidneys were slightly pale and a small amount of clear fluid was noted in the abdominal cavity. Necropsy of the bird's penmate at termination of the adult portion of the study revealed a regressed ovary, but was otherwise unremarkable. Three incidental and ten treatment-related mortalities occurred in the 50 ppm a.i. treatment group and four treatment-related moralities occurred in the 150 ppm a.i. treatment group. Necropsy findings for the treatment related mortalities in the 50 and 150 ppm a.i. test concentrations were similar. Common findings included thin or emaciated condition with a loss of muscle mass and prominent keel, small spleen and pale kidneys. All remaining birds at the 150 ppm a.i. test concentration were euthanized at the beginning of Week 5. Due to the shortened nature of the exposure period, necropsies were not performed. All remaining birds at the 50 ppm a.i. test concentration were euthanized at the beginning of Week 8 of the test, and necropsies were performed following euthanasia. Necropsy findings are summarized in Table 2. Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 -24- Clinical Observations No overt signs of toxicity were observed at the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration. With the exception of foot lesions and occasional lameness, all birds in the control group and 10 ppm a.i. treatment group were normal in appearance and behavior throughout the test. t In the 150 ppm a.i. and 50 ppm a.i. treatment groups, signs of toxicity were first noted at the end of Week 2. One male in the 50 ppm a.i. treatment group and several birds in the 150 pm a.i. treatment group exhibited signs of toxicity induced by the stress of handling during the Week 2 body weight measurements. In several cases, birds convulsed during body weight measurements. Signs of toxicity in both the 50 and 150 ppm a.i. treatment groups continued to be observed until the birds were euthanized. Clinical signs of toxicity observed included depression, reduced reaction to external stimuli (sound and movement), wing droop, loss of coordination, ruffled appearance, thin appearance, lower limb weakness, lethargy, lacrimation and convulsions. Adult Body Weight There were no apparent treatment-related effects upon adult body weight at the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration, and any differences between the control group and the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration were not statistically significant at any of the body weight intervals. However, there were marked treatmentrelated reductions in mean body weight at both the 50 and 150 ppm a.i. test concentrations. With the exception of the mean male body weight at the Week 2 interval, all differences between the control group and birds in the 50 ppm a.i. treatment group were statistically significant at p < 0.01. At the 150 ppm a.i. test concentration, mean male and female body weights were statistically different from the control group at p < 0.01 at both the Week 2 and Week 4 body weight intervals. Between the Week 2 and Week 4 body weight intervals, a weight gain was noted for birds at the 150 ppm a.i. test concentration. However, the weight gain observed was a reflection of the reduction of the concentration of PFOS in the diet to 20 ppm a.i. during Week 3 of the test. Mean body weight measurements are presented in Table 3, and Figures 1 and 2. Individual body weight measurements are presented in Appendix VII. Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 -25 - Adult Feed Consumption There were no apparent treatment-related effects upon feed consumption at the 10 or 50 ppm a.i. test concentrations. No statistically significant differences between the control group and 10 or 50 ppm a.i. treatment groups were observed at any of the feed consumption intervals. However, treatment-related reductions in feed consumption were observed at the 150 ppm a.i. test concentration during Weeks 1 and 2. The reductions were statistically significant at p < 0.05 during Week 1 and at p < 0.01 during Week 2. The dietary concentration for the 150 ppm a.i. treatment group was reduced to 20 ppm a.i. during Week 3 of the test. There was a statistically significant (p <0.01) increase in feed consumption at the 150 (20) ppm a.i. test concentration during Weeks 3 and 4 of the test. Mean feed consumption measurements are shown in Table 4 and Figure 3. Feed consumption measurements by pen are presented in Appendix VIII. Adult Necropsy and Liver Weights All surviving adults in the control group and the 10 ppm a.i. treatment group were subjected to gross necropsy following adult termination. When compared to the control group, there was an increased incidence of males with small testes (approximate length < 3.5 cm) in the 10 ppm a.i. treatment group for which a treatment-related effect could not be precluded. Two males in the control group were noted with small testes, compared to seven males in the 10 ppm a.i. group. All other findings were considered unrelated to treatment. Necropsy findings are reported in Table 5 and Appendix IX. When compared to the control group, there were no treatment-related effects upon the mean weights of adult livers at the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration. Any difference between the 10 ppm a.i. treatment group and the control group was not statistically significant. Mean adult liver weights are presented in Table 6, while individual adult liver weights are presented in Appendix X. Histopathology No lesions considered related to test article (PFOS) administration were noted in the liver, kidney, adipose tissue, brain, and proventriculus of adult and offspring males and females, bursa of Fabricius in offspring males and females, ovaries of adult and offspring females and testes of male offspring. The increase in the number of adult males in the 10 ppm a.i. treated group with reduced testicular size (with or without a corresponding microscopic observation), suggests that PFOS may have accelerated early postreproductive phase regression, a normal physiological phenomenon. Any potential test-article effects on the bursa of Fabricius in adult males and females could not be determined since samples were not Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 -26 - submitted for evaluation. In addition, any potential test-article effects on the gallbladder from adults and offspring could not be definitively determined due to the extensive autolysis that precluded any accurate diagnosis. The few other changes in various tissues of adult and/or offspring mallards from control and 10 ppm a.i. treated groups were considered incidental and unrelated to test article (PFOS) administration. The full histopathology report is provided in Appendix XI. t Adult Liver and Sera Adult blood samples (both red blood cells and sera) collected through Week 15 of the test were analyzed by Exygen Research. The results for analysis of samples collected for this study are reported together with results for the northern bobwhite study run concurrently with the same test concentrations.

"Analytical Phase Report for PFOS: A Reproduction Study with the Mallard". Reproductive Results There were no treatment-related effects upon reproductive performance at the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration as compared to the controls. When compared to the control group, there were no statistically significant differences in any of the reproductive parameters measured in the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration. Summaries of the reproductive data are presented in Tables 7 and 8, and in Figures 4 and 5. Reproductive parameters by pen are presented in Appendix XIII and XIV. W ildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 -27 - Egg Shell Thickness There were no apparent treatment related effects upon egg shell thickness at the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration. When compared to the control group, there were no statistically significant differences in egg shell thickness in the 10 ppm a.i. treatment group. Egg shell thickness data are presented in Table 9 and Appendix XV. Offspring Body Weights There were no apparent treatment related effects upon offspring body weight at the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration. When compared to the control group, there were no statistically significant differences in the body weight of hatchlings or 14-day old survivors from the 10 ppm a.i. treatment group. Offspring body weight data are presented in Table 10, and Appendices XVI and XVII. Offspring Liver Weights There were no treatment-related effects upon the mean weights of offspring livers at the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration. Any difference between the 10 ppm a.i. treatment group and the control group was not statistically significant. Mean offspring liver weights are presented in Table 6, while individual offspring liver weights are presented in Appendix XVIII. Offspring Observations There w ere incidental observations o f neck curl, w eakened condition and foot/leg lesion s and associated lameness, for offspring in both the control group and 10 ppm a.i. treatment group. At the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration, a general observation was made that the offspring from Lots C and D were sluggish, with a slight reduced reaction to external stimuli. None of the offspring in the Lots proceeding or following Lots C and D were noted as sluggish or with a reduced reaction to external stimuli. Due to the isolated nature of the clinical signs of toxicity noted, these observations were not considered treatment related. All other offspring were normal in appearance and behavior throughout the test. Offspring Liver and Sera Blood and liver samples collected at the time of offspring termination for the control group and 10 ppm a.i. test concentration were shipped to 3M Environmental Laboratory for analysis. Summary results of sera and liver analyses conducted by 3M Environmental Laboratory are presented in 3M report Tables 1, 2 and 10 through 15 located in Appendix XIIB. The full report for analysis of sera and liver samples W ildlife International, Ltd.

"Analytical Phase Report for PFOS: A Reproduction Study with the Mallard". CONCLUSION There were no treatment-related mortalities, overt signs of toxicity, or treatment-related effects upon body weight, feed consumption or reproductive performance at the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration. However, there was an increased incidence of small testes for males in the 10 ppm a.i. test concentration that may have been related to treatment. There were treatment-related mortalities, overt signs of toxicity and treatment-related effects upon adult body weight at the 50 and 150 ppm a.i. test concentrations. There were also treatment-related effects feed consumption at the 150 ppm a.i. test concentration. The 50 and 150 ppm a.i. test concentrations were terminated prior to the reproductive phase of the test. Based on the effect observed at the 10 ppm a.i test concentration, the no-observed-effect concentration for mallards exposed to PFOS in the diet was determined to be less than 10 ppm a.i., the lowest concentration tested during this study. Wildlife International, Ltd. -29 - REFERENCES Project Number 454-109 1 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 1982.

Project Number 454-109 Appendix III Diet Preparation Premixes for PFOS were prepared on January 22, 2001; February 6 and 12, 2001; March 2, 6 and 27, 2001; April 12, 2001; May 3 and 23,2001; and June 4, 2001. Nominal preparation was as follows: Control: No premix required. 10 ppm a.i.: 2.5633 g PFOS + 8097.4 g ration 50 ppm a.i.: 12.8165 g PFOS + 8087.2 g ration 150 ppm a.i.: 38.4494 g PFOS + 8061.6 g ration 20 ppm a.i. 5.1266 g PFOS + 8094.9 g ration Basal ration, 5000.0 g, was weighed into a tared Hobart mixing bowl. The remaining ration was weighed and set aside. The test substance was weighed into a tared weigh boat. Approximately 100 g of set aside ration was placed in a Waring blender. The test substance was transferred to the Waring blender and the weigh boat was rinsed three times with set aside ration, with the rinse being added to the blender. The blender contents were mixed approximately one minute and transferred to the mixing bowl. The blender was rinsed three times with set aside ration with the rinse being added to the bowl. The remaining set aside ration was added to the bowl, the bowl was placed on a Hobart mixer, and the contents were mixed approximately 15 minutes. If not used immediately after mixing, 2000.0 g aliquots of the premix were weighed, placed in appropriately labeled plastic bags, reweighed, and stored frozen. As needed, the appropriate premix was incorporated into the final diet as follows: 0 ppm a.i.: 52.25 kg ration + 2.750 kg limestone 10 ppm a.i.: 2000 g Premix + 50.25 kg ration + 2.750 kg limestone 50 ppm a.i.: 2000 g Premix + 50.25 kg ration + 2.750 kg limestone 150 ppm a.i.: 2000 g Premix + 50.25 kg ration + 2.750 kg limestone 20 ppm a.i. 2000 g Premix + 50.25 kg ration + 2.750 kg limestone The diets were mixed for approximately 20 minutes in a Patterson-Kelly Twin Shell Blender. , -51 - Wildlife International Ltd.

Project Number 454-109 Appendix VI Reproductive Parameters 1. Eggs Laid Definition - The number of eggs produced during the breeding season. Sensitivity - This is a parameter that is frequently affected by chemicals that cause reproductive impairment. It is also highly sensitive to the general conditions under which the test is conducted, and may be adversely affected by improper diet, crowding, excessive disturbances, etc. 2. Eggs Cracked Definition - Eggs determined to have cracked shells when inspected with a candling lamp. Fine cracks cannot be detected without utilizing a candling lamp, and if undetected, will bias the data by adversely affecting embryo development. Sensitivity - This parameter is not frequently affected as cracking is directly related to shell thickness, and few chemicals have caused egg shell thinning. Improper pen design, overcrowding, and pecking by the birds can also increase egg cracking. 3. Eggs Set Definition - All eggs placed under incubation, i.e., total eggs laid minus cracked eggs, mechanically damaged eggs, and those selected for egg shell thickness analysis. The reason for presenting this parameter is to establish a base of reference for the following parameter viable embryos. 4. Viable Embryos Definition - Eggs in which fertilization has occurred and embryonic development has begun. This is determined by candling the eggs 13-14 days after the initiation of incubation. It is difficult to distinguish between infertility and an early embryonic death. Sensitivity - This is a frequently affected parameter with infertility or embryonic mortality caused by an unfavorable environment for fertilization in the oviduct, impotent males, or chemical residue in the egg. -69- Wildlife International, Ltd. Project Number 454-109 Appendix VI Reproductive Parameters Page 2 5. Live Three-Week Embryos Definition - These are embryos that are developing normally after three weeks of incubation. This is determined by candling the eggs. Sensitivity - This parameter is seldom affected. 6. Hatchlings Definition - Embryos that mature, pip the shell, and liberate themselves from their eggs on Day 27 or 28 of incubation. Sensitivity - This is a frequently affected parameter which is also highly sensitive to the conditions of incubation, such as rate and angle of rotation, humidity, and temperature. - Humidity: If too dry, ducklings will stick to their shells. - Temperature: If too hot and humid, ducklings will grow too fast and be too large for their shells; thereby not having the intra-egg mobility necessary to pip their shells. 7. Body Weight - Hatchlings Definition - The average weight of hatchlings by parental pen of origin, taken immediately upon removal from the hatcher. Hatchlings from each weekly lot of eggs are weighed. Mean weight for each week and mean weight by pen are reported. Sensitivity - This is an occasionally affected parameter and may reflect some residual or latent toxic effects from chemical residue in the egg. 8. 14-Day Old Survivors Definition - Birds that survive brooding for two weeks following hatch. Sensitivity - This is a seldom affected parameter and is probably more indicative of the conditions under which the birds were reared in battery brooders than the chemical to which the adults were exposed. -70- Wildlife International, Ltd. Projcct Number 454-109 Appendix VI Reproductive Parameters Page 3 9. Body Weight - 14-Day Old Survivors Definition - The average body weight of the 14-day old survivors by parental pen of origin, taken upon removal from the brooder unit at 14 days of age. Fourteen-day old survivors from each weekly lot of eggs are weighed. Mean weight for each week and mean weight by pen are reported. Sensitivity - This parameter is seldom affected, and more closely reflects the rearing practices utilized. 10. Egg Shell Thickness Definition - The thickness of the shell and the membrane of the egg at its equator after having been opened, washed, and dried for at least one week at room temperature. Egg shell thickness measurements for each egg measured, and pen means are reported. Sensitivity - This is a seldom affected parameter; however, measurements must be taken very carefully to ensure accuracy. Possible mechanical errors include membrane curling at the measurement surface, and calcium deposits on the measurement surface. / ' .<a 1 *" Vi , -71 - Wildlife International Ltd Project Number 454-109 Appendix VI Replicate Identification Experimental Group Control 0 ppm a.i.

STUDY NUMBER 454-109 EPL PROJECT NUMBER 212-028 PFOS: A REPRODUCTION STUDY WITH THE MALLARD PATHOLOGY SUMMARY Light microscopic examination was performed on sections of selected tissues from adult male and female mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) which were untreated or which received 10 ppm a.i. of the test article (Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid, Potassium Salt [PFOS]) in the feed for approximately 21 weeks. Selected tissues from untreated 14-day post-hatching offspring of the adult mallards were also examined by light microscopy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects upon adult mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) of dietary exposure to the test substance over at least a 21-week period. The experimental design was as follows: Experimental Group Adults Males Females Offspring0 Males Females Co1n0troppl miO oa.oi.m) 2200 2200 33 77 *Adults were euthanized after receiving the test substance in the diet for approximately bO21ffswperienkgs.did not receive the test substance in the diet. All offspring were euthanized on Day 14 post-hatching. MATERIALS AND METHODS At the completion of the study interval, all surviving adult mallards were euthanized. Selected offspring were also euthanized at approximately 14 days of age. Necropsies were performed on all birds by Wildlife International, Ltd. EPL -94- EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY LABORATORIES, INC. Project Number 454-109 Wildlife International, Ltd. Study Number 454-109 Tissues were collected by Wildlife International, Ltd. from adults and offspring, fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, and sent to Experimental Pathology Laboratories, Inc (EPL), where they were trimmed, embedded in paraffin, and made into hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections on glass microscope slides. The following tissues from adult and offspring mallards were examined by light microscopy as available: liver, gallbladder, proventriculus, kidney, brain, gonad (ovary or testis), bursa of Fabricius, and adipose tissue. All tissues required by protocol are presented in the Histopathology Incidence Tables. Microscopic findings for each tissue examined from each mallard are listed in the Histopathology Incidence Tables. Microscopic changes were graded one to five depending on severity. Nongradable findings (including autolysis such that a diagnostic interpretation could not be rendered) are listed as present (P). All findings for all animals are summarized by sex, age group, and treatment group in the Summary Incidence Tables, together with the total number of animals in each group for which tissues were examined. A tabulation of gross observations noted at necropsy with the corresponding microscopic change, if appropriate, is presented in the Correlation of Gross and Microscopic Findings tables. The observations in these tables were transcribed from the Gross Necropsy records provided by Wildlife International, Ltd. RESULTS Except for one control (3235) adult male, all adults and offspring survived to the end of their respective study intervals. No effects considered possibly related to test article (PFOS) administration were noted in the liver, kidney, adipose tissue, brain, and proventriculus of adult and offspring males and females, bursa of Fabricius in offspring males and females, ovaries of adult and -2- 001- EPL -95 - EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY LABORATORIES, INC. Project Number 454-109 Wildlife International, Ltd. Study Number 454-109 offspring females and testes of male offspring. Any potential test article effects on the bursa of Fabricius in adult males and females could not be determined since no samples were submitted for evaluation. The bursa of Fabricius typically regresses prior to sexual maturity. In addition, any potential test-article effects on the gallbladder from adults and offspring could not be definitively determined due to the extensive autolysis, which precluded any accurate diagnosis. In two (2) control and seven (7) 10 ppm a.i. adult males, the testes were observed macroscopically as being reduced in size (< 3.5 cm) when compared to other birds. Of these birds, one control (3225) and four treated birds (3261, 3275, 3279, 3287), exhibited decreased spermatogenesis, characterized by a reduction in the number or absence of maturing/mature spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules. The other control (3243) and one treated bird (3295) exhibited degeneration/atrophy of the seminiferous tubules characterized by an absence of mature sperm and a decrease in the number of cell layers of the germinal epithelium. The remaining two of seven 10 ppm a.i. males (3263, 3285) with macroscopically noted reduced testicular size and the balance of the control and 10 ppm a.i. males exhibited normal spermatogenesis, characterized by the presence of numerous spermatids and mature spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules. Reduced testicular size, with or without microscopic evidence of decreased spermatogenesis, is a feature most consistent with early postreproductive phase regressions, a normal physiological phenomenon. The degeneration/atrophy noted in the control and treated adult birds may simply represent a later stage of this normal change. However, the increased incidence of reduced size (with or without a corresponding microscopic observation) of the testes in 10 ppm a.i. adult males, when compared to controls (7 vs. 2), suggests 3- - G ')!-' EPL -96- EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY LABORATORIES, INC. Project Number 454-109 Wildlife International, Ltd. Study Number 454-109 that treatment may have accelerated the normal post-reproductive phase regression. Testes of all offspring examined were listed as immature because they lacked all evidence of spermatogenesis, had small seminiferous tubules with absent or narrow lumens, and had germinal epithelium with decreased cell layers (compared to adult testes). This morphology is consistent with normal physiological immaturity expected in 14 day-old birds. Ovaries of adult females exhibited normal oogenesis, characterized by numerous ova in various stages of follicular development. In five (5) controls and five (5) 10 ppm a.i. adult females, the ovaries were indicated macroscopically as "regressed" or "regressing." Microscopically, those ovaries were no different from their cohorts, except that there may have been a reduction in the number of fully developed ova. If present, this change was not recorded microscopically, since it was considered to be consistent with early post-reproductive phase regression, a normal physiological phenomenon. Since the number of females affected was the same in both the control and 10 ppm a.i. groups, there was no indication that treatment had any effect on this phenomena. All ovaries of offspring females were characterized by numerous oocytes and very small, nonpedunculated follicles completely embedded in a prominent ovarian cortex. This morphology is consistent with the normal physiological immaturity expected in 14 day-old birds. Vacuolization in the liver was characterized by the presence of vacuoles within the hepatocellular cytoplasm which varied from, usually small, poorly demarcated vacuoles, giving a "lace-like" appearance to the hepatocellular cytoplasm, to variably sized, sharply demarcated, clear vacuoles in the hepatocellular cytoplasm. While special stains were not employed to identify the 4- - GOl EPL -97 - EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY LABORATORIES, INC. Project Number 454-109 Wildlife International, Ltd. Study Number 454-109 material in the vacuoles, the latter morphology was consistent with fat accumulation. Hepatocellular vacuolization was observed in the livers of adults and offspring of both sexes. Although there was a slight increase in the incidence of this change in 10 ppm a.i. treated adult males when compared to controlls (20 vs. 12), there was no substantial difference in the mean severity between the groups. In addition, the change was not observed in treated male offspring or at a significant difference in treated adult or offspring females when compared to their respective controls. Since this finding was commonly observed in the livers from control birds, it was considered to be incidental and not related to test article administration. The apparent increased incidence in the treated adult males was probably due to biological and/or distributional variability. Additional incidental findings also noted in the liver included liver pigment deposition in adult males, consisting of dust-like, brown to golden-brown pigment granules within the hepatocellular cytoplasm. The identity of the pigment was not determined, but it may have been biliary in origin. Also, the liver of two control adult males and one control adult female exhibited amyloid deposition consisting of amorphous pale eosinophilic material, which filled the hepatic sinusoids. In the one control male that died (3235), the liver parenchyma was almost completely replaced by the deposited amyloid. Also noted in the liver, at a low incidence in control and/or treated male and female adults and offspring, were foci of hepatocellular degeneration/ necrosis. These lesions were generally single, small, discrete foci of pale to hyperosinophilie hpatocytes with indistinct, fragmented, or condensed nuclei. Although there was generally a slight predominance of the lesion in treated birds, when compared to controls, it was considered incidental and not related to 5- - EPL -98- EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY LABORATORIES, INC. Project Number 454-109 Wildlife International, Ltd. Study Number 454-109 treatment because of the low incidence, limited distribution, and relatively low severity (generally minimal to slight). Additional microscopic findings (described below) noted in adult and/or offspring mallards from control and treated groups included mononuclear cell infiltrates in various tissues, kidney nephropathy, and in the proventriculus, hyperplasia of the glandular epithelium. Generally, in both adult and offspring males and females, there was either no significant difference in the incidence of these lesions between control and treated groups, or the incidence was variable, with some lesions occurring at a higher incidence in controls when compared to treated birds, and other lesions having the opposite distribution. In addition, there was no significant difference in the mean severity of these lesions in treated birds when compared to controls. For these reasons, these findings were considered incidental and unrelated to test article (PFOS) administration. Mononuclear cell infiltrates, observed in various tissues, consisted of foci of lymphocytes and plasma cells generally accompanied by a few heterophils as a minor component. Nephropathy in the kidneys of both control and treated adult males and females was characterized by the presence of basophilic and/or regenerative tubules in the renal cortex. Hyperplasia of the proventricular glandular epithelium in adult females was generally multifocal in distribution, and characterized by increased numbers and/or basophilic staining of the glandular epithelium. In many cases, there was minimal compression of adjacent normal glandular epithelium. The pathogenesis of this lesion was not determined. However, since the incidence was not significantly different between controls and treated birds, it was considered incidental and not related to treatment. -6 - G 0 1 `-.HO EPL -99- EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY LABORATORIES, INC. Project Number 454-109 Wildlife International, Ltd. Study Number 454-109 CONCLUSIONS AND SUMMARY No lesions considered possibly related to test article (PFOS) administration were noted in the liver, kidney, adipose tissue, brain, and proventriculus of adult and offspring males and females, bursa of Fabricius in offspring males and females, ovaries of adult and offspring females and testes of male offspring. The increase in the number of adult males in the 10 ppm a.i. treated group with reduced testicular size (with or without a corresponding microscopic observation), suggests that PFOS may have accelerated early postreproductive phase regression, a normal physiological phenomenon. Any potential test-article effects on the bursa of Fabricius in adult males and females could not be determined since no samples were submitted for evaluation. In addition, any potential test-article effects on the gallbladder from adults and offspring could not be definitively determined due to the extensive autolysis that precluded any accurate diagnosis. The few other changes in various tissues of adult and/or offspring mallards from control and 10 ppm a.i. treated groups were considered incidental and unrelated to test article (PFOS) administration.

The absolute recovery of the QC samples Is determined by comparing the results of the extracted quality control spikes quantitated versus an extracted matrix curve and a solvent curve. The sera spikes quantitate higher using a solvent curve than when using a matrix-extracted curve. The low spikes are 11.1% higher, the medium spikes 8.3% higher, and the high spikes 8.3% higher. The 9.5% average higher quantitation of the three levels of spikes using a solvent curve versus an extracted matrix curve demonstrates that it is appropriate to use matrix-extracted standards. The same trend Is observed for liver samples. The extracted liver matrix curves are 12.2% higher. 7.8% higher, and 5.6% higher respectively for the low, medium and high spikes of the liver matrix, again demonstrating that it is appropriate to use matrix-extracted standards. Internal Standard: The internal standard (PFDA) was added to all samples and standards. PFDA was not used for quantitation, but was used to monitor for gross instrument failure. Instrument Response Calibration. HPLC-ES/MS/MS instrument response was calibrated using the concentration of the C .FuSO j anion of perfluorooctane sulfonate, potassium salt (PFO S) that was adjusted for purity and the potassium ion contribution to the m ass of PFO S used to prepare stock solutions. Any future calculations requiring concentrations to be expressed as a percentage of dietary In-take must adjust the dosed amounts as well. D ata S um m ary Tables 10 through 13 summarize individual sample data. Representative chromatograms are presented in Attachment C. The table displays C .F u SO j' concentrations for individual injections. All data are corrected for purity of the PFO S reference substance used for the extracted-matrix calibration curve. Table 10.

S t a t is t ic a l M e t h o d s Statistical methods included calculating means, standard deviations, % coefficient of variation, linear regressions, percent recoveries, and the Dixons Q-Tesl. The Dixons Q-Test. used for the rejection of outliers, has values ordered from lowest to highest. A O-value is determined from the difference of a result and the next closest result that is divided by the difference of the highest and lowest value In the group of values. A critical O-value is determined based on the number of samples in the group and the desired confidence interval. If the Q-value is greater than the critical Q-value then the value will be rejected. S ta tem en t o f D ata Q uality The only measurement is the quality control and matrix spike results. Accuracy (the observed amount in the QC and M S samples, divided by the amount spiked, expressed as a percent) was found to range from 79.7% to 172%; while precision, expressed as the standard deviation of the recoveries, was found to range from 0.717% to 15.7%. 3M Environmental Laboratory Page 23 f 4.ju. \ "v* Reproductive Performance by Pen A ppendix X I I I - T a b le 1 Eggs Laid / Maximum Laid (%) from a Mallard Reproduction Study with PFOS Eggs Replicate Laid 0 PPM A.

Project Number 454-109 Appendix XIX Changes To Study Protocol This study was conducted in accordance with the study protocol signed on January 22, 2001 and the following amendments and deviations: 1. The protocol was amended to add four pairs of birds to each test group to be maintained for collection of blood samples during the test. Additionally, the protocol was amended to add collection of selected tissues for analyses and histopathological examination from all adult birds. When available, fecal samples were also to be collected from the lower digestive tract of test birds. 2. The protocol was amended to reduce the dietary concentration for the 150 ppm a.i. test concentration to 20 ppm a.i. at the beginning of Week 3 of the test. The concentration was reduced based upon treatment-related mortality and signs of toxicity at the 150 ppm a.i. concentration. 3. The protocol was amended to euthanize the 20 ppm a.i. treatment group as soon as practical after the end of Week 4 of the test. Week 4 body weight and observation data indicated birds had not recovered fully following reduction of the dietary concentration from 150 to 20 ppm a.i. Birds were euthanized without collection of samples. 4. The protocol was amended to euthanize the 50 ppm a.i. treatment group as soon as practical after the end of Week 6 of the test. The level was terminated due to treatment-related mortality and signs of toxicity at the 50 ppm a.i. level. Blood, liver, bile and fecal samples, when available, were collected from 10 pairs when the level was terminated. 5. The protocol was amended to add collection of samples from all eggs selected for egg shell thickness measurements. Eggs selected for Lots A, B and J were separated into shell, shell membrane, albumen and yolk and stored frozen for analysis. Eggs selected from Lots C through I will be opened and the yolk was separated and stored frozen for possible analysis. 6. The protocol was amended to add collection of blood, selected tissues and fecal samples, when available, from 10 offspring each from the control group and 10 ppm a.i. treatment group. Blood, tissues and feces were collected for possible analysis. Tissues were also taken for histopathological examination. 7. The protocol was amended to remove the reference substance number (4526) from page 2 of the protocol. The use of an internal standard was deemed unnecessary after refinements to the analytical method were made. 8. The protocol was amended to indicate samples collected for analysis would be shipped to 3M Corporation. Tissues collected for histopathological examination from birds in the 50 and 150 ppm a.i. test concentrations will not be shipped to EPL for examination, but will be disposed of. , -201 - Wildlife International Ltd. Project Number 454-109 9. The protocol was amended to add Attachment A, the analytical phase plan to be used by 3M Environmental Laboratory for analysis of samples. 10. The protocol was amended to update Attachment A, the analytical phase plan to be used by 3M Environmental Laboratory for analysis of samples. 11. The protocol was amended to change Attachment A, the 3M analytical phase plan, to redefine the peak area precision requirement and the method for calculating the calibration curve. 12. The protocol was amended to indicate the main 3M Environmental Laboratory Project Identification Number (LIMS) for the analytical phase plan results is E01-1245. Additional 3M tracking numbers associated with the study are U2723, E01-1342 and E01-1365. Additionally, the 3M Principal Analytical Investigator was changed from Harold Johnson to Lisa A. Stevenson. 13. The protocol was amended to change the Sponsor Representative from Rochelle R. Robideau to Susan A. Beach. 14. The protocol was amended to change the Sponsor Representative from Susan A. Beach to John L. Newsted. 15. Feather samples were collected, when available, from adult birds from which tissue samples were collected. The protocol did not require collection of these samples. Additionally, with the exception of liver samples, tissue samples collected for analysis were not weighed prior to being placed in sample containers. 16. On July 12, 2001, the temperature in brooder level S52-3, housing offspring from Lot J of the control group, was inadvertently not recorded. 17. Dietary samples collected on Day 0 of Week 1 of the test were not stored frozen between January 24 and January 25, 2001. Instead, samples were stored in the analytical chemistry laboratory prior to being processed for analysis on January 25, 2001. The protocol indicated that diet samples would be stored frozen until they were prepared for analysis. 18. Three adult birds in the 50 ppm a.i. test concentration, the hen in pen 243 and the pair in pen 246, were inadvertently euthanized at the beginning of Week 5 of the test during euthanasia of the 150 ppm a.i. test level. -202 - Wildlife International, Ltd, Project Number 454-109 Appendix XX Personnel Involved in Study The following key Wildlife International, Ltd. personnel were involved ,in the conduct management of this study: Avian Toxicology (1) Mark Jaber, Wildlife Toxicologist (2) Joann B.
