FMG
A Special Purpose Committee of the SPI
The mission of the FMG is to promote
the continued safe manufacture & use of fluoropolymers made using fluorinated
polymerization aids (FPA) while
establishing & supporting responsible
care in the use of fluoropolymer products & minimizing the impact
on the environment.

Question?
Are PFOA Serum Concentrations from Rat Toxicological Studies Useful in HumanHealth Risk Characterization?
s
Relevant Facts in the Rat
Model
Serum PFOA does not correlate to
cumulative dose in rats Female rats rapidly absorb and excrete PFOA such that the concentration in serum is dependent on time of sample relative to the time of last dose.
&
Illustrative Clearance Curve
c 2i g81 s s 3E .
&
Hours
7
Other Examples (Females)
100 % of an oral dose of "C-PFOA in
pregnant rats was recovered in urine
within two days.
Female rats excreted essentially 100%
of an i.v. dose of "C-PFOA after 24
hours.
After single oral doses of 2.5 to 150 mg/kg PFOA to female rats, blood
[PFOA] was 3 to 162 ppm at 30 minutes and 0.12 to 18 ppm at 24 hours.
&
Serum [PFOA] is not proportional to dose in male rats (and
monkeys) after repeated oral
doses.
7
Examples (Males)
Mean male rat serum [PFOA] at the end
of dosing for 106 days at 10 and 30
mg/kg/day were 50 and 45 ppm, respectively.
Mean serum concentrations in male cynomolgus monkeys after six months
of dosing at 3, 10 and 30/20 mg/kg/day
were 77, 86 and 158 ppm, respectively.
10
Answer
Serum [PFOA] in female (and male) rats after dosing is not a
reliable indication of cumulative
internal dose for use in human-
health risk characterization.
"
Recommendation
Use of standard EPA risk-characterization
procedures, e.g., going from external
dose in the animal model and application
of appropriate uncertainty factors appears
to be more appropriate for human-health
risk characterization with PFOA.

Question?
How is PFOA distributed to the US population? (Auer, 1/30/02)
30
Future Activity
Review and evaluate 3M U.S. population
blood data
+ Sampling
+ Distribution of samples
+ Procedures for obtaining samples
+ Analytical procedures
+ Procedures specific for PFOA
* Peer reviewed
31
Future Activity
Assure appropriate sampling and appropriate
and validated analytical procedures
Continue to investigate the toxicology of
APFO and the impact on the kinetic modeling Understand the potential for Telomer contribution
---->Evaluate the need to monitor blood
32
On-Going Activity
Toxicity and Environmental Fate and Effect
work to continue as planned
Significant reduction in emissions and
|
distribution from the fluoropolymer
manufacturing industry
+ FMG to provide forecast for emissions reduction
FMG to provide periodic emissions summary
Studies planned or scheduled for other potential contributors
FMG will facilitate dispersion processors material
balance
TRP to communicate on Telomer issues
35
Summary
Risk Assessment should continue via normal procedures No known adverse human health effects
Significant reduction in potential exposure sources
+ emissions at fluoropolymer plants + emissions from new US FPA capacity
+ elimination of sales outside the fluoropolymer
industry
phase out of POSF related materials Toxicity and Environmental Fate and Effect work
continues on schedule
