NITRIFICATION INHIBITION
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:Mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may also be referredto as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-203CF-X or FC-203CF. (1-Octanesulfoniaccid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was 501. The testsample isFC203CF-X. Currentinformationindicatesitisa mixtureof 1% PFOS, 20% diethyleneglycolmonobutyl ether,70.2% water,2.75% Acrylicfoamer, 3% sodium octylsulfate,1% triethanolmaine,2% sulfonatedalkylethersalts,and 0.05% tolyltriazole.
The followingsummary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterized concentrations of impurities.Data may not accurately reflectinhibitionby the fluorochemical component of the testsample.
METHOD
Method: NitroseedTM -ST ToxicityTest Test type: Microbialinhibition GLP: No Year Completed: 1995 Analyticalmonitoring: Oxidationofammonia, pH and temperature. Statisticamlethods: Not given. Test organism source: PolybacCorporationB,ethlehem,PA. Received 8/2/95.NitroseedTm Lot G315. Test condition:
Dilutionwater: MilliporMeilli_QTMwater Medium solutions: Per method. (pH 7-9 BiochemicalBufferand Ammonia solution1.0mL equivalentto 10.0 mg NH3-N/L). Test solutionpreparation: Test substance was added directltyotest vessels. Test vessels: 500 mL glass Erlenmeyer flaskswitha totaltestvolume of250 mL. Number of concentrations: fourand blankcontrol Temperature: 20.1 - 21.2 'C Total suspended solids and pH on day of testing: InitiTaSlS 1.153 g/L. Initialnd finalpH based on the blankcontrolwas 7.9 forboth time periods. Element Basis: Reduction innitrificataitonpH 7.8.
RESULTS
Nominal concentrations: Blank control,83, 116, 252, and 498 mg/L
Elementvalues: 4-houErC5o= >498mg/L
