ACUTE TOXICITY TO AQUATIC INVERTABRATES (DAPHNIA MAGNA)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:
A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also
be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-600. (1-Octanesulfonic acid, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8heptadecafluoro-, potassium salt, CAS # 2795-39-3)
Remarks: The 3M production lot number was not noted. The test sample is FC-600 (SCAS Treated Effluent*). Current information indicates FC-600 is a mixture of 1.0% PFOS, 81.20% water, 12.00% diethylene
glycol butyl ether, 1.00% sodium octyl sulfate, 2.00% propane Sultone
foamer, 1.00% sodium decyl sulfate, 0.85% xanthan gum, 0.1% N-(3chloroallyl) hexaminium chloride, 0.80% starch, and 0.05 % benzotriazole.
The following summary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterized concentration of impurities that was treated in a SCAS reactor. Data may not accurately reflect the toxicity of the
fluorochemical componentofthe test sample.
This study is the second of 3 daphnia studies conducted to determine the
toxicity of FC-600 after being treated through a SCAS reactor. This study
used the supernatant ofa mixed microbial culture that initially contained FC-600 at 667 mg/L*. The effluent was collectedafter 4 hours of treatment in a SCAS reactor. The inoculum used came from the Metro
Wastewater Treatment Plant, St. Paul, MN.
* The study references a "1,000 mg/L" concentration. This value is not accurate as it does not include dilution by the sewage mixed liquor.

applies to that mixture and not the fluorochemical proportion alone.
CONCLUSIONS The SCAS treated FC-600 effluent 48-hour ECs, was determined to be 12.6% with a 95% confidence interval of 10 to 15%. Submitter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133
DATA QUALITY
Reliability: Kiimisch ranking = 3. This study lacks descriptionofthe
.
methodology used, reportingoftest conditions and information on the
amount of test substance remaining after SCAS treatment. The sample
purity was not propery characterized and the study lacks analytical
confirmation of the amountoffluorochemical proportion in the solution.
