These results will be used to aid in the determinationof the environmental fateofthis compound. Significance of Study When assessing environmental fate of production chemistries, there are four `main factors taken into account. The first factor, environmental entry, considers the rate and media into which the substance enters the environment. The. second factor, transport of the compound, concerns its physical and chemical properties such as solubility, vapor pressure and sorption to soil and sediments. These factors, when taken together, determine its movement in the environment. Third, the rateoftransformation due to environmental degradation via biotic and aebnivoitriconpmreoncteswsheesreartehetackoemnpiontuonadccooruintts,traanndsfloasrtmesidnkpsr,odpulcatcecsolilnectthse, are considered. Computer models then combine the information and are used to trace the rates of movement, transformation and distribution among the media of the environment as a function of time. Real world measurementsof the degradation products and manufactured chemistries are conducted and correlated with models. Only with al of the above information can a full environmental assessment be conducted. The present study will provide information on abiotic degradation reactions, rates and products so that the assessment will have increased reliability and exposure issues will be more completely resolved. Objectives `There are three primary abiotic degradation process in the environment: hydrolysis, photolysis and oxidationreduction. Each process will be studied individually in controlled experiments to identify decomposition products and to evaluate the kinetics. The resultsof these experiments, when taken as a whole, will lead to a more complete picture of the abiotic degradation of PFOS in the environment Proposed Degradation Route and Products tis proposed that abiotic degradation may lead to direct cleavageofthe C-S bond to produce a CF7 radical, followed by subsequent rearrangements to produce a variety of compounds. Thus, the expected degradation products may include perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluoronated Cs olefins, and mixed Cs hydrides. This type of mechanism is unknown in the scientific literature. ' 04458 Alternatively there may be production of SO, via a sulfonite intermediate.

A second goal is to present the results in peer-reviewed journals for broader distribution and review of study integrity. Further, this data will be viewed by various government entities. However, these studies are research and an all-inclusive protocol cannot be written. With this notable exception, the studies will be conducted in compliance with GLP-type regulations. Adsorption/Desorption Characteristics and Recoveries A "preliminary * adsorption/desorption study, demonstrating acceptable analyte recovery for both PFOS and PFOA will be conducted per OECD Method 106, "Adsorption/Desorption." A reportof the findings will be included in the final report, Homologues of Cs materials will be assumed to behave in a similar manner to the Ca compounds. It is assumed that possible volatile degradation compounds (e.g. olefins, hydrides etc.) will show little adsorption to the matrix or the container. Degradation products not herein predicted will not be assessed for adsorption/desorption properties if mass balance for that portionofthe study is in excess of 85% Analytical Method(s) Validation Analytical methods will be validated for each specific target material on each piece of analytical instrumentation. The methodology for method validation will be included in the final report.

Impurities contained in the production chemistry will be monitored for degradation. All chemicals used in the study will be logged into the environmental laboratory chemical tracking database.

In order to be representative, hydrolysis studies shoud be carried out at pH values normally found in the environment (pH 4 to 9), and under physiological conditions (pH 1 to 2). A pH 11.0 buffer will be added in the present study to better understand the behavior of FC-95 in basic solutions. Two types of Solutions wil be studied. The first study will be conducted in homogeneous solutions which contain only the fully solvated species in a buffer.
