ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH (FATHEAD MINNOW)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may alsobe referredtoas PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-3017. (1Octanesulfoniaccid)(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 characteilzedconcentrations of impurities.Data may not accurately reflecttoxicityof the fluorochemical component of the testsample.
METHOD:
Method: OECD Guideline203
Type: Acute static-renewal
GLP: No Year completed: 1995
Species: Pimephalespromelas
Supplier:Aquatc Biosystems,Inc.,FortCollinsC,O.
Analyticalmonitoring:Temperature,pH, and DO.
Exposure period: 96-hours
Statisticamlethods: Not given.
Test fishage: Juveniles(121- 132 days) Length and weight: Average length 23 mm
Average weight 0.0908g (wet)
Loading: 0.504g/L
Pretreatment:None
Test conditions: Dilutionwater: Carbon-filterweedllwater
Dilutionwater chemistry: DissolvedOxygen:
8.4mg/L
pH: 8.4
Lighting:Not given. Stock and testsolutionpreparation:The testmateriawlas added directly
tothe dilutiownater on a weighvvolume basisand mixed wellwitha glass
rod. Concentrations dosing rate: Once forthe control,1.0 and 10 mg/L
exposures. Twice forthe 100 mg/L exposure,and threefiniesforthe 1000
mg/L exposure. Stabilityof the testchemical solutions: Not noted.
Exposure vessels: 2.0L beakers containing1.8L testsolution.
Number ofreplicates1:for1,10,and 100mg/Lexposuresc,ontroalnd 1000 mg/L exposure were duplicate. Number of fishper replicate:10. Number of concentrations: fourplusa blankcontrol Water chemistry during the study:
PH range (0-96hours): 8.0- 8.4 (controlexposure) 7.7- 8.4 (1000 nig/Lexposure)
Temperature range (0-96 houm): 17.8- 19.9 OC Dissolved oxygen mnge (0-96 houm):
6.5 - 8.4 mg/L (controlexposure) 0.7 - 8.4 rng/L(1000 mg/L exposure)
RESULTS
Nominal concentrations: Blank control,1, 10, 100, and 1000 mg/L
Element values: 96-hour LCm = >1 000 nig/L
Element values based on nominal concentrations
Remarks: Tesfing was conducted on the mixtureas described in the Test Substance Remarks field.The values reportedapply to thatmixtureand not the fluorochemicalproportionalone.
CONCLUSIONS
The testsample 96-hour LC50 forfathead minnow was determined to be >1000 mg/L, the highestconcentrationtested.No mortalitywas observed at thisconcentration.

DATA QUALITY
Reliability:Klimischranking = 3. Testing approach inconsistentamong exposure concentrations,with a combinafion of staticand static-renewal techniques used. Sample puritywas not propedy charactedzed and the study lacksanalyticaclonfirmationofthe amount of fluorochemicalproportioninthe solution.
