ACUTE TOXICITY TO FISH (RAINBOW TROUT)
TEST SUBSTANCE_______________________________________________
Identity: A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-203. (1Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M production lot number was 4. The test sample is FC203. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 1.34% PFOS, 35% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 37.85% water, 20% ethylene glycol, 2.66 % Sultone foamer, 3% sodium octyl sulfate, 0.1% sodium lauryl sulfate, and 0.05% tolyltriazole.
The following summary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterized concentrations of impurities. Data may not accurately reflect toxicity o f the fluorochemical component of the test sample.
METHOD:________________________________________________________
Method: Not given.
Type: Acute static
GLP: No
Year completed: 1974
Species: Salmo gairdneri
Supplier: Not given.
Analytical monitoring: Temperature, pH, and DO
Exposure period: 96-hours
Statistical methods: Not given.
Test fish age: Juvenile
Length and weight:
Average length = 1.5 in
Average weight = 0.9 g (wet)
Loading: Not given.
Pretreatment: None.
Test conditions:
Dilution water: Carbon filtered city water, St. Paul, MN
Dilution water chemistry: Not given.
Lighting: Not given. Stock and test solution preparation: Not given. Concentrations dosing rate: Once Stability of the test chemical solutions: Not noted. Exposure vessels: Not given. Number of replicates: 1 Number of fish per replicate: Not given. Number of concentrations: five plus a blank control Water chemistry during the study:
pH range (0-hours only): 7.1 - 7.2
0005S4
Temperature range (0-96 hours): 4 8 - 4 9 F Dissolved oxygen range (0-96 hours):
4.7 - 5.7 mg/L (control exposure) 4.2 - 5.2 mg/L (1250 mg/L exposure)
RESULTS________________________________________________________ Nominal concentrations: Bk control, 125, 312.5, 625, 937.5, and 1250 mg/L Element values: 96-hour LC50 = 1250 mg/L Element values based on nominal concentrations Remarks: Testing was conducted on the mixture as described in the Test Substance Remarks field. The values reported apply to that mixture and not the fluorochemical proportion alone. CONCLUSIONS___________________________________________________ The test sample 96-hour LC50 for rainbow trout was determined to be 1250 mg/L. Submitter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133 DATA QUALITY___________________________________________________ Reliability: Klimisch ranking = 3. Testing lacks record of methodology used and documentation. Sample purity was not properly characterized and the study lacks analytical confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical proportion in the solution.
