ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH (FATHEAD MINNOW)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may also be referredto as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-600. (1-Octanesulfonicacid,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8heptadecafluoro-p,otassium saltC,AS # 2795-39-3)
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was notnoted. The test sample isFC-600 (Belgium).Currentinformatioinndicatesitisa mixture of 1.0% PFOS, 81.20% water,12.00% diethyleneglycolbutylether, 1.00% sodium octylsulfate2,.00% propane Sultonefoamer, 1.00% sodium decylsulfate0,.85% xanthan gum, 0.1% N-(3-chloroallyl) hexaminium chloride0,.80% starch,and 0.05 % tolyltriazole.
The followingsummary appliesto a mixture with incompletely characterizedconcentration of impurities.Data may not accurately reflectthe toxicityof the fluorochemical component of the test sample.
