ACTIVATED SLUDGE RESPIRATION INHIBITION TEST
TEST SUBSTANCE
ldent4:
Perfluorooctanoiaccid,ammonium salt;may alsobe referredto as PFOA ammonium saltA,mmonium perfluorooctanoateF,C116, FC-126, FC-169, or FC-143. (Octanoicacid, pentadecafluoro-a,mmonium salt,CAS # 3825-26-1)
Remarks: 3M productionlotnumber 390. The testsample isFC-126, a white powdery solid.It'psuritywas notsufficientclhyaracterizedt,hough currentinformationindicatesitisa mixtureof78 - 93% testsubstance and 7 -22% C5, C6, and C7 perfluoraonalogue compounds.
METHOD:
Method: OECD 209 Test type: Staticacute GLP: No Year completed: 1987 Analyticalmonitoring:Dissolvedoxygen concentrations. Test organism source: Activatedsludgemixed liquorcollectefdrom the metro Wastewater Treatment Plant,St Paul,MN. Used the same day as
collection. Test conditions:
Dilutionwater: Aerated,distilledde,ionizedwater Synthetic sewage: per OECD 209 Test vessels: Not stated Number of concentrations: 5 plusone reference substance and 2 blank controls.
Test temperature: 20 - 21 OC Mixed liquorSuspended Solids: 2.7g/L pH of Activated Sludge Mixed Liquor: 7.8 (initialn)d 8.0
(final) pH of1000 mg/L testconcentration7:.4(initiaanld)8.1
(final) Exposureperiod:30-minuteasnd 3-hours
Referenceand testsolutiopnreparationA:lltestsubstancesolutions were createdby adding individuawleightstosolutionscontaining284 mL Di water,16 mL syntheticsewage feed,and 200 mL inoculum.The pH of these solutionswas then adjustedto7.0using 1N NAOH. Reference solutionswere createdusinga 500 mg/L stocksolutionof3,5-

RESULTS
Nominal concentrations:Two Blank controls1,00, 180,320, 560, and 1000 mg/L testmaterialsolution.
