U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Series 850 - Ecological Effects Test Guidelines
OPPTS Number 850.1035
This study was reported using a test substance purity of 90.49%. The test substance characterization was revised on 9/7/00 and the purity was determined to be 86.9%. The Sponsor requested that the results be revised based on the most recent purity analyses. The results previously presented were simply corrected by the ratio of the two purities or a factor of 0.9603. No attempt was made to recalculate analytical standard concentrations or measured concentrations from original raw data. As such, minor errors due to rounding may be present. Attached is the revised summary page from the final report and the most recent certificate o f analysis.

1Purity = 100% - (sum o f metal impurities, 1.45% +LC/MS impurities, 8.41%+Inorganic Fluoride, 0.59% +NM R impurities, 1.93%+organic acid impurities, 0.38%+POAA, 0.33%)
Total impurity from all tests = 1 3 .0 9 % Purity = 100% - 13.09% = 86.9%
2Potassium is expected in this salt form and is therefore not considered an impurity.
3Purity by D SC is generally not applicable to materials o f low purity. No endotherm was observed for this sample.
4Sulfur in the sample appears to be converted to SO4 and hence detected using the inorganic anion method conditions. The anion result agrees well with the sulfur
determination in the elemental analysis, lending confidence to this interpretation. Based
on the results, the SO4 is not considered an impurity.

Note: The C4 and C6 values were calculated using the C4 and C6 standard calibration curves, respectively. The C5 value was calculated using the average response factors from the C4 and C6 standard curves. Likewise, the C7 value was calculated using the average response factors from the C6 and C8 standard curves.
