. INTRODUCTION
3MPaCgeomJpoafn1y9
3M manufactures products which contain chemical compounds, ither as intentional components or residual impurities. that have as a parent molecule, perfluorooctane sulfons uoride (POSE). These chemicals include: perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), N-ethyl perfluorooctanesulfonamide, N-cthyl perfluorooctanesulfonamido ethanol, N-methyl perfluorooctanesulfonamido ethanol and chemicals derived from it, and the mixture of mono-, diandti [N-<thy! perfluorooctane sulfonamidoethyl] phosphates. There may be other precursors in the workplace, including perfluorohexanesufonyl fluoride (PHSF). These molecules enter a number ofproduct applications (.g., surfactants, food packaging additives, polymers). These. compounds may be expected to transform metabolically, to an undetermined degree, to PFOS (and PFHS) as an end-stage metabolite. Potassium perfluorooctane sulfonate (CF1;0805K*) is ftslf, a surfactant used as a wetting and foaming agent in industrial and commercial processes, (Olsen, et al., 1998)
Subchronic studies in rats and primates suggest there may be a potential for cumulative toxicity With PFOS over time with theprimaryeffect related to metabolic wasting. These molecules have long eliminationhalflives in biological systems. Although the mechanism of toxicity is not fully understood, toxicitymaybe due to an effect on peroxisome proliferation, fatty acid metabolism, membrane function, protein synthesisand/ormitochondrial biocnergetics. (Olsen, etal, 1998) The biological elimination rates of luorochemicals have been studied in rats, pregnant ats, female rabbits and hamsters. Biological half-lives have been calculated from the studies in ras and dogs. In addition, the half-life of serum total organic fluorine in a fluorochemical worker
000980
3MPaCgoemspoafn1y5 Was estimated using serial collections of serum total organic fluorine. These studies reveal that PROS and PFOA may persist in the body for prolonged periods, and with continuing.exposure, accumulate over time in biological systems. To date, the actual elimination half-life of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), ammonium perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHS), and total organic fluorine (TOF) in human serum is not completely understood.
The objectives of this study areto quantitate the eliminationhalflife in human serum ofPFOA, PFOS, PFHS, and TOF; these half lives wilbe calculated from declines in serum fluorochemical levels in 3M Decatur Chemical Plant Retirees. This information is necessary in order to: 1) plan the most appropriate periodicity of medical surveillance and 2) guide medical decision making of workers from fluorochemical production facilities when those workers" serum fluorochemical fevels are determined to be unsafely elevated. A benefit of this research will be to understandthe. natural historyoffluorochemical excretion.
LITERATUREREVIEW
AMMONIUM PERFLUOROOCTANOATE (PFOA or FC-143) Excretion ates of PFOA have been observed in ras, and found to be different by gender and
routeof excretion. Following single i.v. doses of "C-FC-143 (carbonyl carbon labeled) in rats, Johnson et al, found that females excreted virtually all the administered 'C within 1 day. Urinary excretion for males was about 50% of the dose by day 6 and 83% by day 36. Fecal '"C
excretion for females was 1.5% by3 days and for males was 5.4% by 36 days. (lohnson, et al,
000981
IMPaCgoemspoafn1y9
1980) Rapid urinary excretion of "C following oral doses of VC-FC-143 was also shown to
occur in pregnant rats. (Johnson, etal, 1983)
Excretion rates vary by species studied. Excretion of radiolabeled PFOA was studied in four species by Dupont in 1988. Excretion as a percentage of administered dose 120 hours after dosing was in the following order; female rar, male and female rabbit and male hamster (> 99%); female hamsier (60%); male rat (39%): male and female mice (21%). (Dupont, 1988) Of noe, the administered dose and routes of exposure and excretion were not specified in this study report.
Rats and dogs respond to pharmacologic interventions that change PFOA excretion ate. In male
rats administered single i.v. doses of "C-FC-143 (carbonyl carbon labeled) cholestyramine (4%
WIW in feed) increased cumulative 15 day fecal C excretion 9.8-fold versus controls. Total *C
excretion (feces plus urine) was also enhanced, although less dramatically (84.3%ofdose vs, 71.8% for controls). (Johnson, et al, 1980a; Johnson JD,e al, 1984) There s no difference.
between the renal clearances of "*C in male and female dogs either before or after`probenecid.
Probenecid significantly reduces PFOA clearance in dogs. Glomerular filtration rates of PFOA were similar in rats and dogs. (Hanhijarvi, et al., 1988)
Elimination halflife has been calculated under numerous conditions in ats and dogs. The results show the same differential elimination ate in rats by gender ic. female > male), as well as hlf-
life differences by route of exposure and species. Followingasingle oral dose of 'C-FC-143
(carbonyl carbon labeled) in male at, the plasma half-life was 4.8 days. (Johnson, et al, 1979)
000982
3MPaCgoemspoafn1y9
In female rats administered oral or i.v. doses of "C-FC-143 (carbonyl carbon labeled), over 90%
ofthe administered dose was recovered in the urine within the first 12 hours. The wholebody elimination half-life of PFOA in male and female rats was 15 days and less than one day, espectively. following a single 4-mg/kg intraperineal dose. (Vanden Heuval, etal, 1991) (Johnson, etal, 1983; Johnson, et al. 1980) The half-life of PFOA in the iver was 60 hours for females and 210 hours for male rat. (Ylinen,e al, 1990) The decreased excretion ate (ic. inereased elimination half-life) in males is seen across at least two species: ras (as above) and dogs. The plasma half-life of PFOA was longer in male dogs (473 to 541 hours) than in females (20210 305 hours). (Hanhijarveit, al., 1988) The elimination halflife appears to be similar in male rats exposed to cither inhalational or dermal exposure. Following repeated inhalation exposures to FC-143 over a two-weekperiod, blood organic fluoride levels in male rats showed a half-life of five to seven days. (Kennedy, et al. 1986) A blood half-life o five to seven days was seen following repeated dermal exposures in male rats. (Kennedy, 1985) Acalculation of the elimination half-life of an organic fluorine species has been reported in the human. The half-life of total serum organic fluorine in a fluorochemical worker who was removed from further exposure was greater than 18 months. This worker hada blood organic fluorine levelof40 pats per millon over the period ofone year. The worker's organic fluorine level rose to 70 partspermillion for no apparent reason. The worker was then removed from the fluorochemical production area and his blood and urine samples were periodically checked for organic fluorine and PFOA over an 18-month period. A total of 18 months transpired before the

Page7of 19 million. (Ubel,
etal. 1980) Other estimates of serum fluorochemical half-lives have been calculated in the one
thousand day range. This anecdotal account does not actually rack the serum PFOA level,
but rather the serum total organic fluorine (TOF) level. It was found through empirical means
that 90% of the blood organic fluorine existed as PFOA. (Ubel, et al. 1980)
PERFLUOROOCTANE SULFONIC ACID (PFOS or FC-95) Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid appears to persist in biological systems, being excreted more
slowly than PFOA. Single i.v. doses (mean 4.2 mg/kg) of "C-FC-95 and 0.9% NACL were administered to male rats. By 89 daysafter dosing, 30.2%of the administered "C had been
excreted in the urine and 12.6% had been excreted in the feces. (Johnson, etal, 1979)
Pharmacologic interventions do appear to increase the excretory rateof PFOS. Fecal and total
excretion of '"C were markedly increased in male rats administered Cholestyramine (about 2.7
gm/kgperday) and their diet following single iv. dosesof "C-FC95. The results suggest that
there was significant enterohepati circulation ofFC-95. (Tohnson, et al. 19802; Johnson, et al,
1989)
Much less is known concerning elimination half-life of PFOS than PFOA; only one calculation
of the elimination half-life of PFOS has been attempted. The plasma elimination half-life of 'C following single oral administration of '"C-FC-95 (mean dose 4.2 mg/kg) to male rats was 7.5
days. (Johnson, et al. 1979a)

RESEARCH METHODS
3MPiCgoem9poafn1y9
The overall research design is prospective in nature, obtaining multiple serial blood samples from retirees throughout the course ofa five-year period. We will track the decline in several serum fluorochemical levels in humans. The health outcomes that will be documented in this study are the half-life determinations of serum ammonium perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PROS), perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHS), and serum total organic fluorine
(TOF).
High-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry will be utilized to analyze all serum samples. The accuracy and reliability of this device will be the state of the art at the timeofanalysis. Periodically, split samples from one or two subjects will be utilized to assess reliability of the analysis.
Only individuals who have retired from 3M Decatur chemical plant from the ltofJanuary 1995 through the IstofJanuary 1998, will be included in the study. Using information received from the Human Resources Department of 3M Decatur, 34 individuals were identified to have retired during this time period. Of the 34 individuals identified, 7 have previously been enrolled in the fluorochemical medical surveillance program. Four of these individuals participated in the. medical surveillance program in 1994 but not 1997; 3 individuals participated in 1997 only. We will attempt to enroll all 34 retirees into the study. Future retirees will not be enrolled. Serum fluorochemical levels will be drawn every six months. All serum fluorochemical levels will be drawn within a one-month time frame (.c., within one month of March and September).
000986
MTacCoomnptany Retirees will be recruited to the study through first, an introductory letter and second, aphone
conversation from the principle investigator or his designee. Subsequent to the follow-up telephone conversation andif the retiree is `willing to enter the study. a written informed consent form (Appendix A) and a medical questionnaire (Appendix B) will be sent to the retireeforhis review. Once the retiree signs the consent form, completes the questionnaire, and returns the
documents to the principle investigator, he will be entered into the study and scheduled forblood
collection. Participation in the study is voluntary and retirees `may drop out at any time.
Blood collection will be scheduled biannually, in April and October (to not conflict withHoliday and summer vacation travel). Letters announcing blood collection dates and times will be sent
out to each study subject one month prior to each blood collection month. Retirees will update
their medical questionnaire at each blood collection. All blood collections will beperformed under the supervision of the 3M Decatur plant nurse, Cathy. Simpson, RN.`Twored-topped tubes will be obtained from each retiree; the 3M Occupational Medicine Service `methodology for
handling and shippingof fluorochemical blood samples will be applied to all blood samples. Samples will be analyzed by the 3M Environmental Laboratoryor its designated contract
laboratory. Retirees will receive written reports of their serum fluorochemical levelsfollowing
each blood collection cycle.
`Two methodsofcalculating the serum fluorochemical half life will be utilized. In the first `method, a one compartment model will be assumed and the formula
a= go (0.5)
000987
3PMagCeo1m1p0afn1y9 will be utilized to estimate the half life of elimination for PFOS, PFOA, PFHS, and TOF. The terms q, and go refer to the serum concentrations at time r and time 0, ti the elapsed times 1 is what we seek to solve.
The second method will be used to verify the first. It also assumes a one compartment model, Each retiree's fluorochemical levels will be graphed on a log-linear scale as serum fluorochemical vs. elapsed time from to (in months) and entered into a database. Statistical analysis will be performed to determine the best-fit model that describes the slope of the loglinear line. (Appendix C)
The slopeofthe log-linear line is related to the elimination constant (+k) through the equation
Slope = -k.(2.303)
Once the elimination constant is calculated, the halflife can be calculated using the relationship ty, = 0.693/k,
Elimination half lives for TOF, PFOS, PFHS, and PFOA will be determined. (Benez, et al. 1985, Medinsky, et al. 1996.)
DISCUSSION
`There are a number of limitations associated with the study, including: 1. The lack of pre-study serum fluorochemical levels in the majority of retirees, making it
impossible to develop baseline levels for the majority of the study group. The 10 values will therefore need to be their first fluorochemical level post-retirement.
000988
3PMagCeo1m2p0afn19y 2. Previous studies have performed serum total organic fluorine levels and not serurm testing
specific for serum PFOS or PFOA: comparability with previous work is thereby compromised. 3. Retirees on medications such as colestipol or cholestyramine, which can artificially increase the rate of eliminationoffluorochemicals from the blood will artificially increase the elimination in unpredictable ways, thereby causing an underestimation of the elimination half life in the entire study population. 4. Retirees may unknowingly have medical conditions that will decrease their toxicant elimination rate unpredictably (e.g. renal failure, congestive heart failure, cholelithiasis, etc), thereby causing an inaccurate estimation of te elimination halflife in the entire study population. For these reasons, the study will occur over the protracted period of five years insteadof a shorter time period (ic. three years). As the only human data plotting total organic fluorine suggest plasma elimination half-life of 18 months,a three year study would allow for verification of that estimate since three years wouldbeequal to two half-lives. A five-year study, therefore, should include over three half-livesofelimination, and make it possible to use several years" data to calculate the elimination half life.
The overall results collected in this study may be used in publications or in public presentations. Retiree namesorother individual data will not be revealed in any publication or other documentations intended for public examination. Individual results will be communicated only to the retiree. Individual results will be considered confidential information and will not be disclosed to anyone outside of the 3M Medical Department without the retiree's written consent,
000989
3PMagCeo1m3p0afn1y9 Quality assurance will be performed per the guidelines set forth in the standard operating procedure for the creation, review, and approval of 3M epidemiology study protocols.
Archiving of study materials, upon completion of the study, will be performed per the standard operating procedure for the creation, auditing, review and approval of 3M epidemiology final reports.
The study will be communicated to the retirees, management, and the technical community. Communications totheretirees will be in the formof a letter, which states the retirees various blood fluorochemical levels. These letters will be sent out following each blood draw. Communication to management willbe in the form ofa written document which will undergo the review process as set forth in the standard operating procedure for the creation, auditing, review and approval of 3M epidemiology final reports. The communication to the technical `community will be in the formofascientific paper, which willbesubmitetdo a relevant peer reviewed scientific publication.
