4 K -2 2 6 _ Oi2Z BIODEGRADATION (BOD/COD) TEST SUBSTANCE_______________________________________ ____ Identity: Mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-3003. (1Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3). Remarks: The 3M production lot number was not given. The test sample is FC-3003, identified by the laboratory as R1331. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 1% PFOS, 15% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 79.39% water, 2% Sultone foamer, 1.5% sodium octyl sulfate, 1% sodium decyl sulfate, 0.06% sodium lauryl sulfate, and 0.05% benzotriazole. The following summary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterized concentrations of impurities. Data may not accurately reflect degradation of the fluorochemical component of the test sample. METHOD:__________________________________________________ _ Method: OECD Guideline. Type: Aerobic GLP: No Year completed: 1997 Contact time: 28 days Inoculum: Polyseed NX, Lot D257, Polybac Corporation, Bethelem, PA RESULTS____________________________________________________ Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): 377,000 mg/kg Biochemical Oxygen Demand (CBOD): 5-Day: 132,000 mg/kg 10-Day: 247,000 mg/kg 20-Day: 296,000 mg/kg 28-Day: 368,000 mg/kg Remarks: Testing was conducted on the mixture as described in the Test Substance Remarks field. The values reported apply to that mixture and not the fluorochemical proportion alone. CONCLUSIONS_______________________________________________ No conclusions given. Submitter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133 002687 DATA QUALITY Reliability: Klimisch ranking = 2. This study meets the criteria for quality testing. However, the sample purity was not properly characterized and the study lacks analytical confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical proportion in solution.
