ACUTE TOXICITY TO AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES (DAPHNIA MAGNA)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:Mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonawtheich may alsobe referredto as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-3003. (1Octanesulfoniaccid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was notgiven.The testsample isFC-3003, identifiebdy the laboratoryas R1331. Currentinformation
indicatesitisa mixtureof 1% PFOS, 15% diethyleneglycolbutylether, 79.39% water,2% Sultonefoamer, 1.5% sodium octylsulfate1,% sodium decylsulfate0,.06% sodium laurylsulfatea,nd 0.05% benzotriazole.
The followingsummary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterizedconcentrations of impurities.Data may not accurately reflecttoxicityof the fluorochemicalcomponent of the testsample.

Exposure period: 48-hours
Test organism age: <24 hours old
Statisticamlethods: No calculationpserformed,based on studyresults.
Test conditions:
Dilutionwater: DechlorinatedCityof Duluth,MN tapwater post-
carbon filteare,ratedfor24 hours priorto use.
Dilutionwater chemistry:
Hardness:

CONCLUSIONS
The testsubstance 48-hour EC50 was determined to be >1000 mg/L. No mortalitoyr sublethaleffectswere observed.
