BIODEGRADATION (BOD/COD)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:Perfluorooctanoiaccid,ammonium salt;may alsobe referredto as PFOA ammonium salt,Ammonium perfluorooctanoateF,C116, FC-126, FC-1 69,or FC-143. (Octanoicacid, pentadecafluoro-a,mmonium salt,CAS # 3825-26-1)
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was notnoted. The testsample isFC-126 and isreferredtoby thetestinglaboratoryas El 282-1 and El 282-2. It'psuritywas notsufficientclhyaracterized, though currentinformationindicatesitisa mixtureof78 -93% test substance and 7 -22% C5, C6, and C7 perfluoroanalogue compounds.
METHOD:
Method: EPA approved standardmethod numbers 507 and 508A. Type: Aerobic(BOD) and Dichromatereflux(COD) GLP: No Year completed: 1987 Contact time:20 days lnoculum: Not noted
RESULTS
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): 825 mg/kg*
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD):
5-Day:
140 mg/kg
IO-Day: 500 mg/kg
20-Day: 710 mg/kg
*Average oftwo tests.

DATA QUALITY
Reliability:Klimischranking4. Summary was createdusingonlya listinogftestvalues.The originasltudyprocedureand raw data were not found. However, therewas a discrepancynoted inthe data values.Data
was reportedas "mg/L"by the testinglaboratoryb,ut was enteredas "mg/kg"values inthe3M EnvironmentalLaboratoryarchivesystem withoutproperconversionfrom volume tomass units.Therefore,the data isinvaliads stated.
