ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity: Perfluorooctanesulfonylamido(ethyl)acetate; may also be referred to as PFOSAA, FC-128 or as the major component of FC-127, FC-129, FC-109, orFC-109-X. (Glycine, N-ethyl-N[(heptadecafluorooctyl)sulfonyl]-, potassium salt, CAS #299151-7)
Remarks: The test sample is FC-128. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 86% test substance and 14% C4-C7fluoroalkyl carboxylate compounds. 3M production lot number 751.

Water chemistry during the study: Dissolved oxygen range (0 - 96 hours): 5.7 - >9.0 mg/L (control exposure) 5.1 - >9.0 mg/L (180 mg/L exposure)* pH range (24 - 96 hours): 7.6 - 7.8 (control exposure) 7.5 - 7.9 (180 mg/L exposure)* * 180 mg/L test group data given because total mortality occurred in the 320 mg/L test group by 72 hours and all data was not collected. Test temperature (0 - 96 hours): 62 to 67F
RESULTS
Nominal concentrations: Bk control, 32, 56, 100, 180, and 320 mg/L Element value: 96-hour LC50 = 100 (70 - 142) mg/L
All element values based on nominal concentrations
Statistical Evaluation of Mortality: Probit analysis was used to calculate LC50 value and the corresponding confidence limits.
CONCLUSIONS
The test sample 96-hour LC50 for fathead minnow was determined to be 100 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval of 70 - 142 mg/L.
