ACUTE TOXICITY TO AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES (DAPHNIA MAGNA)
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 toxicity of the fluorochemical component of the test sample.

Lighting: Cool-white fluorescent lights. A daily photoperiod of 16 hours light and 8 hours dark was maintained throughout the testing period. Stock and test solution preparation: The test solutions were prepared by direct addition of test substance, followed by mechanical stirring at ambient lab temperature. Exposure vessels: 250 mL beakers with 200 mL test solution. Number of replicates: 4
002712
Number of daphnids per replicate: 5 Number of concentrations: one plus a blank control Water chemistry during the study:

Temperature range (0-48 hours): 20.2 - 20.7 C Conductivity range (0-48 hours):
1 3 3 -1 5 4 pmhos/cm (control exposure) 1 5 0 -1 6 0 pmhos/cm (1000 mg/L exposure) Dissolved oxygen range (0-48 hours): 8.7 - 8.9 mg/L (control exposure) 8.6 - 9.1 mg/L (1000 mg/L exposure)
RESULTS______________________ ________ =___________________ _
Nominal concentrations: Blank control and 1000 mg/L.
Element values: 48-hour EC5o = >1000 mg/L
Element values based on nominal concentrations.
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____________________________________ -__________
The test substance 48-hour EC50 was determined to be >1000 mg/L. No mortality or sublethal effects were observed.

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.

Duration: 48 h.
Daily photoperiod: 16 h light and 8 h dark, maintained using cool-white fluorescent lamps.
Temperature: 21 C.
Biological: Daily- gently agitated the exposure chambers and then counted immobilized and dead test organisms (immobilized organisms were those that did not swim within 15 seconds after exposure chambers were gently agitated). Did not remove any daphnids from the exposure chambers at 24 h.
Water chemistry: (1) At test initiation- total hardness, alkalinity, (2) dailytemperature, specific conductivity, pH, and DO. All determinations were1 made according to APHA methods (1995). Formal calculations not needed due to lack of effect.
