BIODEGRADATION (BOD/COD)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:Mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonawtheich may alsobe referredto as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component ofFC-3017. (IOctanesulfoniaccid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was not noted. The testsample isFC-3017. CurrentinformationindicatesFC-3017 isa mixtureof0.67% PFOS, 20% diethyleneglycolbutylether,55.41% water,21% ethyleneglycol, 1.33% Hydroxy foamer, 1% sodium octylsulfate0,.5% polyoxyethylene monooctylphenylether,0.04% sodium laurylsulfatea,nd 0.05% tolyltraizole.
The followingsummary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterizedconcentrations of impurities.Data may not accurately reflectthe biodegradation potentialof the tluorochemical component of the testsample.
