ACUTE TO XIC ITY TO FISH
TEST SUBSTANCE________________________________________________
Identity: A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-203CE. (1Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3).
Rem arks: The 3M production lot number was 519. The test sample is FC203CE (2/21/89). Current information indicates it is a mixture of 1.84% PFOS, 30% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 60.23% water, 2.56% Sultone foamer, 3.1% sodium octyl sulfate, 2.1% polyoxyethylene monooctylphenyl ether, 0.12% sodium lauryl sulfate, and 0.05% tolyltriazole.
The following summary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterized concentrations o f impurities. Data may not accurately reflect the toxicity o f the fluomchemical component o f the test sample.
' METHOD:_________________________________________________________
M ethod: OECD Method 203 and U.S. EPA Method EG-9
Type: Acute static renewal
GLP: No
Y ear com pleted: 1989
Species: Pimephales promelas
Supplier: Aquatic Bio Systems, Inc., Fort Collins, CO
A nalytical m onitoring: Temperature, pH, and DO
Exposure period: 96-hours
Statistical m ethods: Not given.
Test fish age: Juveniles
Length and w eight:
Average length = 19.9 mm
Average weight = 0.06 g (wet)
Loading: 0.2 0g fish /L
Pretreatm ent: None
Test conditions:
Dilution w ater: Carbon-filtered well water
Dilution w ater chem istry:
Tem perature: 20 C

Num ber o f replicates: 2
001094
Num ber o f fish per replicate: 10 Num ber o f concentrations: one plus a blank control W ater chem istry during the study:
pH range (0-96 hours): 7.9 - 8.0 (control exposure) 7.9 - 8.0 (1000 mg/L exposure)
Tem perature range (0-96 hours): 20-21 C Dissolved oxygen range (0-96 hours):
7.7 - 9.6 mg/L (control exposure) 3.8 - 9.6 mg/L (1000 mg/L exposure)
RESULTS________________________________________________________
Nom inal concentrations: Bk control and 1000 mg/L
Elem ent values: 96-hour LC50 - >1000 mg/L
Element values based on nominal concentrations.
Rem arks: 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 proportion alone.
CONCLUSIONS_________________________ __________________________
The test sample 96-hour LC50 for fathead minnow was determined to be >1000 mg/L.
Subm itter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133
DATA QUALITY___________________________________________________
Reliability: Klimisch ranking 2. Testing meets the criteria for quality testing. However, sample purity was not properly characterized and the study lacks analytical confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical proportion in the solution.
