EFFECTS OF LIGHT WATER BRAND
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may alsobe referredtoas PFOS, FC-95, oras a component of FC-206CE. (1Octanesulfonicacid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was not noted. The testsample isFC-206CE (2/16/89).Currentinformationindicatesitisa mixtureof0.92% PFOS, 15% diethyleneglycolbutylether,76.09% water,4% urea,1.28% Sultonefoamer,1.55% sodium octylsulfate,1.05% polyoxyethylene monooctylphenylether,0.06% sodium laurylsulfatea,nd 0.05% tolytriazole.

1.To add tothe knowledge base ofenvironmernaleffectsof LIGHT WATER brand aqueous filmformingfoams and the components used inthe products.2.To identiftyoxiccomponents and tocorrelatecomponent and producttoxicfties.
Thistechnicalreportincludesa summary of environmentaleffectsdata on 3M's productsand the conwnents used in
them. The data was taken from the literatuarned from previousstudiesby the 3M EnvironmentalLaboratory.The data

An attemptwas made tocorrelatethetoxicitoyfFC-203 tothe toxicitoyf itscomponents by takingirdo*oonsideratitohne

Thisstudywas undertakeninresponse totestingdone by the German Army which was reportedin"InvestigatioonfsToxicEffectsand BiologicaDlegradabilitoyfFoam Extinguishing Agents inWastewater" by Ekkehard lsingT.he report,hereafterreferredtoas the "Germa' n Army Report",includeddata for16 firefightinmgaterialso,fwhich two were 3M's FC-203 and FC-206.The 16 firextinguishinaggents were categorizedas:

Forthe algaltoxicitdyata,thereare two importantpointstoconsider.Firstt,he German Army's ajgaedatashow essentialleyquivalentoxicitfyorourtwo products.One would expect more toxicitfyorFC-203 thanforFC-206, as shown inthe Microtox,Zebrafish,and Daphnia tests.However, highertoxicitbyy FC-203 than by FC-206 may notajways be true.For example,theremay be a component which isparticulartloyxictoalgae,perhaps disnipting thephotosynthetipcrocess.Second, our PED forFC-203 indicatenso effectotwo algal speciesatconcentrationusp to 1,000mg/L.Whilethetwo algalspecieson the PED are not thesame as those inthe German Army Report,they areallfreshwaterspeciesand such a largedifferencientoxicitwyouldn'tbe expected.One importantlimitatiwoinththe PED data is thatitdatesfrom 1974 and ithas been impossibletoverifythe exactformulatioonfthe sample used inthosetests. Fo rthe Daphnia data inthe German Army Report,the differencebetween the *FC-206 and FC-203 values.seemslargewhen consideringthewatercontentofthetwo formulationsA.lso, thereisa considerabledifferencbeetween the PED data.andtheGerman Army data.Our PED has a 48-hrstaticDaphnia magna LC50 of1,600 mg/L,whiletheGerman Army Report has a 24-hrstaticDaphnia magna EC50 is430 mg/L The PED data isquiteold (1973)and the formulationofthetestsample cannotbe verifiedT.here isa majordifferencbeetween the PED data and theGerman Army data inthatthe PED data isthe concentratiownhich causes deathto 50% ofthe Daphnia testpopulation(LC 50)and the German Army valueisthe concentratiownhich causes 50% ofthetestpopulationtostopswimming (Effective Concentration= EC50).The German Army valueisinfairagreement withrecentresults which show a 48-hrstaticDaphnia magna EC soof229 mg/L.
One thingthatshouldbe keptinmind when consideringthe toxicitdyata isthatreproducibility and precisionoftoxicittyestscan varyconsiderablfyrom laboratortyolaboratoraynd over time.However,the differencebsetween theolddata(circa1974)and the more recentdatais more likeadyue to changes informulatiornatherthan changes intestprotocolor testspecies. At any rate,our primaryinteressthouldbe the toxicitoyf our currentproductsand w'is.*should be concerned withhavingcurrent,reliabldeata on our PEDS.

2.The German Army performsitsown testingand no authoritoytherthanthe German Army ispresentlyusingthe evaluationscheme used inthereportcitedabove. Therefore,thereisno need tochoose a laboratoryt,estprotocolo,rtestspecies applicableonlytotheGerman Army testscheme. Instead,testmethods and species shouldbe chosen so thattestresultcsan be used inas many countriesas possible.

IV.Conclusions and Recommendations
Inorderto correlatethe toxicitoyfthe productto the toxicitoyf indmdual components, the component concentrationistaken intoconsideration.Inthe tablebelow,the toxicittyo Daphnia ofthe pure components are given inthe thirdccilumn.The fiftcholumn contains estimatedtoxicitiebsased on productformulationT.his isthe toxicitwyhich would be expected when the component isdilutedinwater to the same concentrationas inthe product.For example, one would expect thatsincethe toxicitoyfpure butylCarbftol' isabout 700 mg/L, thetoxicitoyfa solutionmade of35% butylCarbitol0 and 65% water would have a toxicitoyf about 2,000.
Some interestinogbservationscan be made from these numbers. Firste,ven though tolyftdazoliesquitetoxic,itispresentat low concentrationinthe productand when dilutedin the productitprobablydoes notcontributesubstantialltyo producttoxicityH.owever, this analysisdoes notexonerate tolylthazolaes a major contributorto producttoxicityS.econd, the lowest numbers inthe fiftcholumn indicatecomponents whic@ willbe the most likely contdbutorsto producttoxicityb:utylCarbitolO,DuponolO ME (dodecylsulfatet)h,e foamer,and the filmerU.nfortunatelyt,hereisnot a singlecomponent which stands out witha n'umberin the fiftcholumn which issubstantialllyowerthan allthe rest.This may mean thatthereisa synergistiecffectbetween components.

Includedas partofthe referenceforthe data from AQUIRE are the date ofpublicatioonfthe originajlournalarticlaend the review code establishedby a group of EPA reviewers.The reviewershave ranked toxicitdyata from the literaturbey the followingscale:
1.Meets allreviewcriteria. 2. Procedures generallysatisfactory. 3. Insufficieinntsome area ofthe testmethodology or testreport. 4.Abstractor foreignpaper withdata inlimitedformat. The complete contentsofthe AQUIRE database foreachchemical isnot giveninthisreport because the database includesmany obscure speciesof littlienteres(topossum shrimp, Indiancatfishs,nakehead catfisho,ysters,clams, sponges and many others)and data which isconsidered by the EPA reviewersto be of questionablevalue.. Additionaldegradabilitaynd toxicitdyata have been taken from the Handbook of Environmental Data on Organic Chemicals by KarelVerschueren (NostrandReinhold,New York, 1983).These are referencedby page number inthe Handbook followedby the date of the originarleference.There are many cases inwhich the same data appeared on AQUIRE and inVerschueren but onlythe AQUIRE referenceisgivenbecause itincludesthe EPA qt4a]itryatingof the originalreference. Raw materialsupplierswere identifiefdrom the 3M PRISM database and supplierswere contactedand asked forany environmentaldata they have. Unfortunatelye,nvironmentaldata was not generallyavailablefrom raw matedal suppliers.And, the supplierswere slow in sending the limiteddata do have.
The source and reliabiliotfythe literaturdeata was taken intoconsiderationinthe environmentalassessment ofthe components and the recommendations forfurthertesting.

The environmentaleffectsdata forFC-203CE isfairlcyomplete.
The PED data shows lowertoxicittyo Daphnia than isshown by FC-203 inthe German
Army Report and from the recenttestsby EnviroSystems. Daphnia testingshould be done again forassurance inour PED.
