Aft _ 0 6 3 4 TOXICITY TO AQUATIC PLANTS TEST SUBSTANCE________________________________________________ Identity: A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95 or as a component of FC-201AF. (1Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3). Remarks: The 3M production lot number was not noted. The test sample is FC-201AF. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 3% PFOS, 18.59% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 37.81% water, 14% ethylene glycol, 8.25% Acrylic foamer, 9% sodium octyl sulfate, 0.3% sodium lauryl sulfate, 3% triethanolamine, 6% sullfonated alkyl ether salts, and 0.05% tolyltriazole. The following summary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterized concentrations o f impurities. Data may not accurately reflect f/ie toxicity o f the fluorochemical component o f the test sample. METHOD:_________________________________________________________ Method: OECD Guideline 201 and EPA CFR 40 797.1050 Type: Acute Static GLP: No Year study performed: 1995 Species: Selenastrum capricomutum Source: In-house cultures. Originally from ATCC, Rockville, MD Element basis: Algal cell counts (cells/ml), specific growth rates. Exposure period: 96 hours Statistical Methods: Not applicable due to study results. Analytical monitoring: Not given Test Conditions: Algal Nutrient Medium: Nutrient medium for freshwater algae per OECD method. This medium served as the diluent for all algal operations. The pH of this synthetic algal medium was 7.9. Stock and test solution preparation: A 1000 mg/L primary stock solution was prepared by diluting 500 mg of test substance in 500 ml_ of standard algal netrient medium. Aliquots were then added directly to dilution water in test vessels to create test solutions. Exposure vessels: Not given. Agitation: Not given. Number of replicates: Not given. Initial cell loading: 1 x 104 cells/mL Number of concentrations: One, plus a blank control Lighting: Continuous Water Chemistry: Not given. 000191 RESULTS Nominal concentrations: Blank control, 1000 mg/L 3 Algal Growth Response EC50 values Exposure (Contact) Hours 24 48 72 96 Mean Percent Change in Specific Growth Rate (1000 mg/L Cone.) 13 14 22 18 EC50 (mg/L) >1000 >1000 >1000 >1000 Element values are based on nominal concentrations. Remarks: Testing was conducted on a mixture as described in the Test Substance Remarks field. The values reported apply to that mixture and not the fluorochemical components alone. C O N C L U S IO N S __________________________________________________ The test substance exhibits a 96-hour EC50 for specific growth rate of >1000 mg/L. Submitter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133 DATA QUALITY _________________________________________________ Reliability: Klimisch ranking = 4. Not all laboratory data could be located. There is no characterization of the test substance purity, analytical measurement of the test concentrations, and confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical components in the solution.
