ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH (BLUEGILL)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may also be referredtoas 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 productionlotnurt@ibwears notnoted. The test sample isFC-600. Currentinformatioinndicatesitisa mixtureof 1.0% PFOS, 81.20% water,12.00% diethyleneglycolbutylether,1.00% sodium octylsulfate2,.00% propane Sultonefoamer, 1.00% sodium decylsulfate, 0.85% xanthangum, 0.1% N-(3-chloroallhyelx)aminium chloride0,.80% starch,and 0.05 % benzotriazole.
The following summary applies toa mixture with incompletely characterized concentration of impurities.Data may not accurately reflectthe toxicityof the fluorochemical component of the test sample.

pH range (0- 96 hours): 7.1- 7.2(controelxposures) 7.2- 7.3 (2,000mg/L exposure)*
Dissolved Oxygen range (0- 96 hours): 5.6- 7.0 mg/L (controelxposures) 4.5- 6.0 mg/L (2,000nig/Lexposure)*
Temperature (0- 96 hours): 720F
Values forthe 2,000 mg/L exposure (thirdhighestconcentration) were used because totalmortalitoyccurred inthe highest concentrationstested.
RESULTS
Nominal concentrations: Blank control,1,000, 1,500,2,000, 3,000, and 4,000 mg/L Element value: 96-hour LC50 = 1,500 (1,282- 1,755) mg/L
Element value based on nominal concentrations.
Remarks: Testingwas conducted on the mixtureas described inthe Test Substance Remarks field.The value reportedappliesto thatmixtureand not the fluorochemicalproportionalone.
CONCLUSIONS
The FC-600 96-hour LC5c)forLepomis macrochirus was determined to be 1,500 mg/L witha 95% confidenceintervalof 1,282 to 1,755 mg/L.
