A H A A 6 - O iS G ACUTE TOXICITY TO AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES (DAPHNIA MAGNA) TEST SUBSTANCE________________________________________________ Identity: A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-603EF. (1Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3). Remarks: The 3M production lot number is not noted. The test sample is FC-603EF. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 1.30% PFOS, 10% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 54.15% water, 22.5% ethylene glycol, 2.6% propanesultone foamer, 5% Alkylether sulfate, 0.1% N-(3Chloroallyl)hexaminium chloride, 0.9% Xanthan gum, 0.9% starch, 1.0% triethanolamine, and 0.05% tolyl triazole. The following summary applies a mixture with incompletely characterized concentrations of impurities. Data may not accurately reflect toxicity of the fluorochemical component of the test sample. METHOD:_________________________________________________________ Method: OECD Guideline 202 Type: Acute static GLP: No Year completed: 1996 Species: Daphnia magna Supplier: In-house cultures, maintained at AScl-DETD, Duluth, MN. Analytical monitoring: Temperature, pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. Exposure period: 48-hours Test organism age: <24 hours old Statistical methods: The EC50 values were calculated by the Trimmed Spearman-Karber method. The NOEC was calculated by Steel's Many-One Rank test (Toxstat software, Version 3.1). Test conditions: Dilution water: Dechlorinated City of Duluth, MN, tap water (post carbon filter) that was aerated for 24 hours prior to use. Dilution water chemistry: Hardness: 45 mg/L as CaC03 Alkalinity: 43 mg/L as CaC03 pH: 7.92 Lighting: Cool-white fluorescent lights. A daily photoperiod of 16 hours light and 8 hours dark was maintained throughout the testing period. Stock and test solution preparation: A 2000 mg/L primary stock solution was prepared by diluting 2000 mg test substance in 2 L of dilution water. The 002307 remaining exposure concentrations were prepared using a 0.5 serial dilution scheme. Stability of the test chemical solutions: Not noted. Exposure vessels: 250 ml_ borosilicate glass beakers containing 200 ml_ exposure solution. Number of replicates: 4 Number of daphnids per replicate: 5 Number of concentrations: five plus a blank control Water chemistry during the study: pH range (0-48 hours): 7.69 - 8.13 (control exposure) 7.78 - 7.94 (1000 mg/L exposure) Temperature range (0-48 hours): 20.1 - 22.4 C Conductivity range (0-48 hours): 152 pmhos/cm (control exposure) 1 4 7 - 1 5 5 pmhos/cm (1000 mg/L exposure) Dissolved oxygen range (0-48 hours): 8.3 - 8.6 mg/L (control exposure) 7.4 - 8.7 mg/L (1000 mg/L exposure) RESULTS___________________________________________________ Nominal concentrations: Blank control, 62.5,125, 250, 500, and 1000 mg/L. Element values: 48-hour EC50 = 479 (378 - 607) mg/L 48-hour NOEC = 250 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 substance 48-hour EC50 was determined to be 479 mg/L with a 95% confidence interval of 378 to 607 mg/L. The 48-hour No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was determined to be 250 mg/L. Submitter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O.

However, sample purity was not properly characterized and the study 002308 lacks analytical confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical proportion in solution.
