ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH (FATHEAD MINNOW)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may alsobe referredto as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-603F. (1Octanesulfonicacid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was 501. The testsample isFC603F. Currentinformationindicatesitisa mixtureof 0.5% PFOS, 7% diethyleneglycolbutylether,82.95% water,2% acrylifcoamer,4% Alkylether sulfate1,.45% Xanthan gum, 1.4% calciumacetate,0.07% N-(3Chloroallyl)hexaminiucmhloride0,.5% tdethanolamine,0.05% sodium hydroxide,0.03% cis-1-(3-Chloroallyl)-3,5,7-td-aazzao-n1iaadamantane chloridea,nd 0.05% tolytriazole.
The followingsummary applies toa mixture with incompletely characterizeccfoncentrations of impurities.Data may not accurately reflectthe toxicityof the fluorochemical component of the testsample.
