ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH (FATHEAD MINNOW)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorcoctanesulfonatweh,ich may also be referredtoas PFOS, FC-95, or as a component ofFC-600. (1-Octanesulfoniaccid,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8heptadecafluoro-p,otassium salt,CAS # 2795-39-3)
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was 628. The testsample is FC-600 (US) (cc8212-19).Currentinformatioinndicateistisa mixtureof 1.0% PFOS, 81.20% water,12.00% diethyleneglycolbutylether,1.00% sodium octylsulfate2,.00% propane Sultonefoamer, 1.00% sodium decyl sulfate0,.85% xanthangum, 0.1% N-(3-chloroallyhle)xaminium chloride, 0.80% starch,and 0.05 % benzotriazole.
The followingsummafy applies toa mixture with incompletely characterizedconcentration of impuilties.Data may not accurately reflectthe toxicityof the fluorochemicalcomponent of the test sample.

RESULTS
Nominal concentrations: 2 blankcontrols,1,10,100, and 1,000 mg/L Element value: 96-hour LC50 = >1,000 mg/L
Element value based on nominalconcentrations.
Remarks: Testingwas conducted on the mixtureas describedintheTest Substance Remarks field.The value reportedappliestothatmixtureand not the fluorochemicalproportionalone.
CONCLUSIONS
The FC-600 96-hour LC50 forPimephales promelas was determined tobe >1,000 mg/L.
