yz AR 226 -- 0825 J BIODEGRADATION (BOD/COD) IESTSUBSTANCE 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, 1,12,2,3,3,4.4,6,5,6,6.7,7.8,8.8heptadecafluoro-, potassium salt, CAS# 2795-39-3) Remarks: The 3M production lot number was not noted. The test sample is FC-600. Current information indicates it 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-(3-chloroallyl) hexaminium chloride, 0.80% starch, and 0.05 % tolyltriazole.

M0 ETHO0 D: 00000000000 Methods: OECD 301E and BOD/COD/TOC (summary listing only) Type: Aerobic GLP: No Year completed: 1975, 1963, 1984, 1988 Contact time: 20 days (BOD) and 28 days (OECD 301E) Inoculum: 1984 study used a 50/50 mixture of soil extract and secondary effluent. Sandy loam sails obtained from Ramsey and Washington counties in Minnesota. The secondary effluent sample was supematant of activated sludge mixed liquor taken from the Metro Wastewater Treatment Plant, St. Paul, MN.

The value reported applies to that mixture and not the fluorochemical proportion alone. CONCLUSIONS No reliable conclusions can be derived from this study. The indication is that the majoroiftthye product components are readily biodegradable. Submitter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133 D0 ATA0 QUAL0 TY 0000000000 Reliability: Kiimisch ranking 3. The inoculum is not properly characterized in most studies. The testing was conducted on a mixture with chemicals having varying degrees of biodegradability, leading to potential misinterpretation of the results. The sample purity was not properly characterized and the study lacks analytical confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical proportion in the solutions.

At this point, the rate of degradation in the diluted cultures increased substantially. Seventy percent of the DOC remaining at the time of dilution was removed within 15 days. Results of this work on similarly reported a low level of biodegradation of LAS in the modified OECD screening test. D. Liu found thag Harlon A (dodecylbenzene sulfonate) had a half life of 39 days. concLuszons TTheestsproensenLtighsttudWiateesrrperpoedautcetds tdhoenefibnydintghse o3fM pErnevviiroounmsenOtEaClD SLcarbeoerantionrgy.
