ACUTE TO XIC ITY TO FISH
TEST SUBSTANCE_______________________________________________
Identity: A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-203A. (1Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M production lot number was not provided. The test sample is FC-203A. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 1.34% PFOS, 25% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 67.85% water, 2.66% Sultone foamer, 3% sodium octyl sulfate, 0.1% sodium lauryl sulfate, and 0.05% tolyltriazole.
The following summary applies to a mixture wit!i incompletely characterized concentrations o f impurities. Data may not accurately reflect the toxicity o f the fluomchemical component o f the test sample.
M E T H O D :________________________________________________________
Method: Not given
Type: Acute static
GLP: No
Year completed: 1975
Species: Pimephales promelas
Supplier: Not given.
Analytical monitoring: Temperature, pH, and DO

Water chemistry during the study:
pH range (0-96 hours):
7.0 - 7.0 (control exposure)
000987
6.7 - 6.9 (750 mg/L exposure)* Tem perature range (0-96 hours): 69 - 70 F Dissolved oxygen range (0-96 hours):
4.7 - 5.6 mg/L (control exposure) 3.9 - 4.8 mg/L (750 mg/L exposure)* * 750 mg/L (second highest concentration) exposure values used because the highest concentration used resulted in total mortality at 72 hours.
RESULTS____________________________________________________ ___
Nom inal concentrations: Bk control, 100, 250, 500,750, and 1000 mg/L Elem ent values: 96-hour LC50 = 300 mg/L
Element values based on nominal concentrations
Rem arks: 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.
C O N C L U S IO N S __________________________________________________
The test sample 96-hour LC50 for fathead minnow was determined to be 300 mg/L.
Subm itter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133
DATA QUALITY___________________________________________________
R eliability: Klimisch ranking 3. Testing lacks record of methodology used. There is a lack of characterization of the test sample. Test solutions were not analyzed for test substance concentrations and confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical proportion in the solution.
