ABSTRACT
The company has set a CEG (Community Exposure Guideline) of 1 ppb in water for ammonium pefluoro octanoate (C8), a surfactant in the Teflon* dispersion used to produce Teflon* Fiber. A conservative position of assuming all C8 ends up in the James River would produce an average concentration of 0.1 ppb. The only time the CEG could be exceeded would be during periods of extreme low flows in the river.

1. INTRODUCTION
Teflon* colloidal dispersion is mixed with viscose in the manufacture of Teflon* fiber. The cellulose contained in the viscose is regenerated in the coagulation/acid bath in spinning. The regenerated cellulose acts as a matrix to bind Teflon* particles prior to sintering. Surfactants are used in the manufacture of colloidal Teflon* dispersions to prevent conglomeration of particles. One of the surfactants used is F-143, ammonium perfluoro octanoate (commonly referred to as C8).
2, DISCUSSION
A. EARLIER ISSUES
In 1978, the 3M Company notified DuPont that C8 used in Teflon* polymerization may be teratogenic. Airborne dust or vapors were felt to be the source of the exposure. Several technical projects(Reports SpAR 79-3, SpAR 82-1 & TR 82-1) were initiated to study the potential exposure to C8 by DuPont employees. C8 was not detected in the work place air environment. The handling of coated packing yarns or direct contact with Teflon* dispersion were the only potential areas that personnel can be exposed to significant levels of C8 (Ref. 4). Tests at Haskell Lab shoved no transfer of C8 from yarns to rabbit skin and suggested C8 exposure of persons handling dry yarn is minimal (Ref. 5). C8 was later determined not to be teratogenic by 3H and DuPont's Haskell Labs.
B. TEFLON* DISPERSION
Teflon* dispersion is produced in a batch operation at Washington Berks. C8 which, is the ammonium salt of perfluoro octanoic acid is used as a wetting agent to prevent conglomeration of the Teflon* particles. A batch of dispersion is initially about 7000 lbs which contains 3000 lbs of Teflon* monomer. A total of 4060 grams of C8 is added to the batch in the precharge and injection steps. After polymerisation is completed, the dispersion is decanted to obtain BOX solids. Washington Works estimates that 50% of the C8 is removed with the decanted superannuate and the other 50% goes with the concentrated dispersion. On a Teflon* solids basis, the C8 concentration would be 1490 ppm, and 900 ppm on a dispersion basis.
The Teflon* dispersion (T 3311) used for fiber production is pH adjusted with sodium hydroxide which changes the C8 from an ammonium salt to a sodium salt- In the coagulating/acid bath used in Teflon* fiber spinning, the C8 will convert to the acid form, perfluoro octanoic acid.

2. DISCUSSION CONT'D
C, PREVIOUS CONCERNS
Previous research examined employee potential exposure to C8 through handling of yarn. Sintered Teflon* yarn had non-detectable levels of C8 (Ref. 4). The Teflon* fiber sintering temperature is 325 C.
The boiling point of perfluoro octanoic acid is 188 C. Yarns with a Teflon* coating, which are not exposed to high temperatures did contain detectable levels of C8. Thermal treatment of these yarns was effective in removing the C8, The research showed that the C8 removal was a function of time and temperature (Table l),(Sef, 2). IR scans of off gas from the heated yarn samples provided the basis for the conclusion that the C8 decarboxylates into C02 and perfluoro monohydride and does not evaporate as it is heated up to 200 C- (Ref- 4).
The data follows the kinetic "rule of thumb" that increasing the temperature 10 C produces a doubling of the rate- Extrapolating this relationship up to the sintering temperature of Teflon* predicts that all the C8 is removed from the fiber,
D- PRESENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
The present environmental concerns with C8 are with ground water contamination. A CEG (Community Exposure Guidelines) of 1 ppb in water has been established by Haskell Labs.
Samples of effluent from different spots in the Teflon* spinning process were taken to estimate the concentration of C8 in the site's waste . streams. Sample locations are listed in Appendix I. CH2M Hill was contracted to analyze the samples. A summary of their results are in Appendix I. A complete report from CK2M Hill is contained in Appendix II. The sample results do not allow for a complete mass balance. The measured concentrations in the effluent streams only accounts for about 5Q> of the C8,(Pig. 1 & 2 ). There are several possible explanations, the initial C8 concentration is 750 ppm on a dry Teflon* basis, the C8 , chemically reacts, it is encased in the yarn, it decomposes, evaporates or the reported levels are in error low. The lower initial C8 concentration is not likely because of independent analysis done by Washington Work and Spruance have measured the concentration, at about 1000 ppm on a dispersion basis. The C8 will change to perfluoro octanoic acid in the bath which should not react with the normal contents of the Teflon* spinning acid bath. There is no reasonable way to prove the idea of C8 being encased in the yarn.

2. DISCUSSION CONT'D
D. PRESENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS CONT'D
Previous work measured C8 on unsinterred Teflon* yarn at 60 ppm (Ref. 4). The concentration would need to be 700 ppm to account for the Missing C8. The previous work concluded that the C8 carried with the unsinterred Teflon* yarn would decompose during the sinterring process. This is in contradiction to Washington Works process of recovering C8 from their "fine powder" exhaust stream.
"Fine powder" Teflon* has been tested and found to contain little or no C8- The "fine powders" are dried at 190 C. Washington Works recovery of C8 from the "fine powders" exhaust contradicts the previous conclusion about decarboxylation versus evaporation. If C8 evaporates off the yarn in the fiber spinning process, it should condensed in the spinning exhaust system. To reduce the potential for a duct fire, water is sprayed in the exhaust hood to reduce the temperature down below 65 C, The exhaust gas then passes through a wet scrubber and the final gas temperature is basically reduced to ambient conditions. The water drained from the exhaust hood and the scrubber go into the Teflon* basement east floor trench. If all of the C$ eventually ends up in the sewer, this would lead to the conclusion that the analysis from CH2M . Hill are low.
CH2H Hill ran surrogates on three samples. Surrogate recoveries were not determined on the high concentrated samples due to the large dilution required for analysis. Surrogates were run on the discharge from the exhaust scrubber and two distilled water samples, one sent by Spruance and one from CH2H Hill's lab- The exhaust scrubber effluent was analyzed to have 1.8 ppb of C8, and the detection of known amounts of surrogate material added was less than 50%. The explanation for the low surrogate recovery was due to the noise created by a large non-target chromatographic peak coupled with a large dilution factor. Decomposition products of cellulose that are scrubbed out of the exhaust gas are the mostly likely cause of the non-target chromatographic peak. . The surrogate recoveries on the distilled water samples ran from 52% to 86%. The possibility of the analysis being low is real.
There is alot of contradicting material on the fate of C8 in the Teflon* spinning process. The belief that CH2M Hill's results are low by a factor of ~2X would tie together the majority of the material. The 60 ppm measured concentration of C8 on the yarn only accounts for `5% of the total material. The other 95% exits the process in the wet portion of the spinning process, the washing step since the acid bath is 100% recycled. The 5% on the yarn evaporates and then condenses in the exhaust hood similar to Washington Works recovery process. Only trace amounts of C8 should reach the scrubber. The amount found in the exhaust scrubber was less than 0.02% of the total amount.

2. DISCUSSION CQNT'P
D. PRESENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS CQNT'P
If 95% of the C8 exits the process with the wash water, the concentration of SK #2 sample should have been 4600 ppb, CH2H Hill's measured amount of 2400 ppb is 52% of that level. This percentage is in the range of report surrogate recoveries on distilled water.
The most conservative position in estimating the potential environmental Impact is to assume that all of the C8 ends up in the plant's waste effluent. This would about double all of CH2H Hill's measured concentrations (Fig 3 & 4),
During the sampling period 11/13 & 11/14/91 and estimated 1194 grams/day of C8 were discharge to the James River. The long terra average(1937 to 1987) flow for the James River is 5104 HHgpd- This would make the C8 concentration in the James River an estimated 0.06 ppb.
The average annual production Tate for Teflon fibers is 1 MM lb. This would discharge 1490 lb- of C8 to the James River annually. The estimated 08 concentration in the river would be 0,10 ppb. The maximum production rate for Teflon fibers is 4200 lb./day. This could add 6.3 lbs C8/day to the James River and produce an estimated C8 concentration, of 0.15 ppb in the river.
The low flow in a 10 year repeating cycle (as defined by 7Q10) for the James River is 408 HHgpd. An average production rate during this period would produce an estimated C8 concentration in the James River of 1.20 ppb and maximum production rates would increase the concentration to L.84 ppb. During the low flow periods, which should happen once every 10 years, production may need to be curtailed to 2300 lb./day of Teflon* fiber to stay below the CEG of 1 ppb.

SPRUANCE C8 ASSESSMENT
A s a result of our discussions of 11/1/91, Environmental Affairs has sampled various points in the Spruance Teflon process as well as the site wastewater treatment system for ammonium perfluorooctanate (CB). The results are contained in the attached table C8 is used as a dispersant to make PTFE at Parkersburg PTFE is used at Spruance to make Teflon^ fiber* CB is an impurity in PTFE and, thus, is introduced into the process at Spruance- The sampling scheme employed evaluated the C8 content at the wash water discharge in the spinning operation, in the air emissions control scrubber effluent, in - the area process sewer, in the site composite process sewer (inlet to wastewater treatment system), and at the discharge of the WWTS which combines with the non-contact streams discharging to the James River.
C8 content in these samples appear in line with your earlier estimates. Assuming Outfall 002 flow of 10 MMGD, a total site effluent of 14.4 MMGD (winter time), and a James River low flow 7Q1Q of 408 MMGD, a river concentration of 0.4 ppb is calculated as a worst case.
I would appreciate your comments on these sample results.

EPA - DEFINED QUALIFIERS
ORGANICS
Definitions for the EPA-defined qualifiers:
U -- Indicates the compound was analyzed for but not detected. The number adjacent to the "u- qualifier indicates the quantitation limit for that compound. The detection limit can vary from sample to sample depending on dilution factors or percent moisture adjustment when indicated.
J -- indicates an estimated value. This flag is used when the mass spectral data indicates the presence of a compound below the stated quantitation limit. The "Of- qualifier is not used with pesticide results.
C -- This flag applies to pesticide results only. The "C" flag indicates the presence of this compound has been confirmed by GC/MS analysis.
B -- This flag is used when the analyte is found in the associated blank as well as the sample. This notation indicates possible blank contamination and suggests the data user evaluate these
. compounds and their amounts carefully.
E -- This flag applies to GC/MS only. The "E- qualifier indicates a compound may be above or below the linear range of the instrument. If the particular compound level is deemed above the linear calibration range, then the sample should be reanalyzed at an appropriate dilution- Therefore, the "E- qualified amount is an estimated concentration. The results for the dilution will be reported on a separate Form I and will be flagged with a "D" if the dilution brings the concentration within proper calibration.
^ ~~ This flag identifies compounds which have been run at a dilution to bring the concentration of that compound within the linear range of the instrument. "D" qualifiers are only used for samples that have been run initially with results above acceptable ranges. For secondary dilutions the "DL" suffix is appended to the sample number on the Form I .
A indicates the Tentatively Identified Compound {TIC) ig a suspected aldol-condensation product.
X Indicates the compound concentration has been manually modified or the EPA qualifier has been manually modified or added.
ax -- The compound was detected and quantitated below the Contract Required Quantitation Limit. .
