BIODEGRADATION (OECD 301 D)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may alsobe referredtoas PFOS, FC-95, or as a component ofFC-780B. (1Octanesulfoniaccid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was 2. The testsample isFC780B. Currentinformationindicatesitisa mixtureof0.58% PFOS, 14% diethyleneglycolmonobutyl ether,76.7% water,5.5% urea,1.17% Hydroxy foamer, 1.15% sodium octylsulfate0,.8% polyoxyethylenemonooctylphenyl ether,0.05% sodium laurylsulfatea,nd 0.05% benzotriazole.
The followingsummaty applies toa mixture with incompletely characterizedconcentrations of impurities.Data does not accurately reflectdegradation potentialof the fluorochemical component of the testsample.
METHOD
Method: OECD Closed BottleTest,OECD Guideline301 D and C 117/79/GER Test type: Ready Biodegradability GLP: No Year Completed: 1980 Analyticalmonitoring: Dissolvedoxygen depletion Statisticamlethods: Resultswere determinedby calculationfthe % BOD/COD overtime Test organism source: Non-pasturizedfieldsoilobtainedfrom 3M Agriculturaglreenhouse, St.Paul,MN
Test condition: Dilutionwater: Deionizedwater and distillweadter. Reference and testsolutionpreparation: The dilutiownater was prepared usingHach BOD SlurryPillows.NitrificatiionnhibitoHra,ch Forumia 2533, was added to replicatdeilutionosfblanksand samples atthe recommended concentrationof0.1g/300 mL. Test vessels: Not given. Number of concentrations: 1 plus2 referencesubstances,and blank,allinduplicate. Temperature: 200C Totalsuspended solidsand pH on day oftesting: Not given. Element Basis: Decrease inoxygen depletioncompared tothe blanks.
RESULTS
Nominal concentrations: Blank control,LAS and sodium dodecyl sulfate (referencesubstances),and testmaterial.
Element values: 5-Day BOD/COD:
21%
15-Day BOD/COD:
78%
28-Day BOD/COD:
72%
Remarks: Testingwas conducted on the mixtureas described inthe Test Substance Remarks field.The values reportedapplytothatmixtureand not the fluorochemicalproportionalone.
CONCLUSIONS
The testsubstance % BOD/COD was 72 after28 days. The % BOD/COD withnitrificatiinohnibitewdas 83 after28 days.

Knowlecl-e of the bacterial toxicity or inhibitory properties ofothe test material is not unequivocally required but constitutes useful info.-mation.

The test is applicable for the biodegradability evaluation
of or[;.-iniccoiiipoun@.b7u.ts not for mixtures thereof. %lost

The test Procedure is based on a paper,
by X.Fischer.

1. Method
1.1 Introduction: Purpose, scope.,relevance, and application of test and explanatl:onof limits.
The purpose of the method is the n-easuren-entof the
biodcC4-adability of organic com pounds in an aerobic, aqueous mediu.-iat a test'concentration of 2 (standard concentration) to 10 mg/l of active material. r-lost
data elaborated with 7his test pertain to water-soluble compoundzs however, volatile.compounds a4d those of
low water solubility may also.,at least in principle, be tested.
