The in-life portion of the test was conducted from April 22, 1999 to May 14, 1999. Raw data generated at Wildlife International Ltd. and a copy of the final report are filed under Project Number 454-103 in archives located on the Wildlife International Ltd. site. OBJECTIVE The objective o f this study was to evaluate the toxicity of a test substance to the Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) administered through the diet for five days. An LC50 value will be calculated, if possible. MATERIALS AND METHODS The methods used in conducting this study are based upon procedures specified in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Series 850 - Ecological Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS Number 850.2200 (1), Section 71-2 of the Environmental Protection Agency's Registration Guidelines, Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, FIFRA Subdivision E, Hazard Evaluation: Wildlife and Aquatic Organisms (2); OECD Guideline 205, Guideline for Testing o f Chemicals, Avian Dietary Toxicity Test (3); and upon ASTM Standard E857-87, "Standard Practice for Conducting Subacute Dietary Toxicity Tests with Avian Species" (4). Test Substance The test substance was received from 3M Corporation on October 29, 1998 and was assigned Wildlife International Ltd. Identification Number 4675 upon receipt. The test substance was white powder identified as: FC-95; Lot No.:217. The reported purity of the test substance was 98.9%, with an expiration date of 2008. Following test termination, the test material was reanalyzed. The results of reanalysis indicate a test substance purity o f 90.49%. All test concentrations have been adjusted to reflect the purity reported on the new Certificate o f Analysis (Appendix I)1. The test substance was stored under ambient conditions. The internal standard was received from 3M Corporation on July 2, 1998 and was assigned Wildlife International Ltd. identification number 4526 upon receipt. The internal standard, a granular 1Following study completion, the test material was recharacterized in accordance with GLP standards and the results of reanalysis indicate a purity of 86.9%. While test concentrations have not been adjusted to reflect the newest purity, the revised study summary in Appendix X summarizes the effect o f the change in purity. AMENDED 000601 W il d l if e In t e r n a t io n a l , ltd -9 - PROJECT NO.: 454-103 material, was identified as: 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid, Chemical Abstract Number: 27619-97-2. The standard was stored under ambient conditions. Treatment Groups The test consisted o f a geometric series of seven test concentrations and a control group. Thirty northern bobwhite chicks were assigned to the control group and ten northern bobwhite chicks were assigned to each of the treatment groups. The birds were sorted by weight, then chosen indiscriminately from within each represented weight class for placement into control and treatment groups. The birds were housed in brooding pens containing five chicks each. Nominal dietary concentrations used in this study were 0, 18.3, 36.6, 73.2, 146, 293, 586 and 1171 parts per million active ingredient (ppm a.i.) of PFOS. The dietary concentrations were established based upon known toxicity data and information supplied by the Sponsor. Each group was fed the appropriate test or control diet for five days. During the exposure period the control group received untreated feed. Following the five-day exposure period all groups were given untreated basal diet for three days. On Day 8, half of the surviving treatment and control birds were euthanized and liver tissue, blood, and bile samples were collected for analysis. The remaining birds were fed basal ration until Day 22. On Day 22, these birds were euthanized and also sampled for liver weight, blood, and bile. Duration of the Test The primary phases of this test and their durations were: 1. Acclimation - 10 days. 2. Exposure - 5 days. 3. Post-exposure observation - 3 or 17 days Test Birds All northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) were 10 days of age and appeared to be in good health at initiation of the test. The birds were obtained from Wildlife International Ltd. Production Flock, Easton, MD and were hatched on April 12, 1999. Birds ranged in weight from 18 to 23 grams at test initiation. The birds used in this study were immature and could not be differentiated by sex. C ^O G O W il d l if e In t e r n a t io n a l , ltd - 10- PROJECT NO.: 454-103 All birds were from the same hatch, pen-reared and phenotypically indistinguishable from wild birds. All birds were acclimated to the caging and facilities from the day of hatch until initiation of the test. Animal Diet Throughout acclimation and testing all test birds were fed a game bird ration formulated to Wildlife International Ltd.'s specifications (Appendix II). The chicks were given a vitamin supplement in their water from the day they were hatched until the initiation of the test. Water from the town of Easton public water supply, and feed were provided ad libitum during acclimation and testing. The birds received no form o f antibiotic medication during acclimation or testing. Diet Preparation The test substance was mixed directly into the ration. Mixing was done with a Hobart mixer (Model Number AS200T). All dietary test concentrations were adjusted to 100% PFOS based upon the reported purity of the test substance. All dietary concentrations and the LC50 value are reported as ppm a.i. in the diet. Nominal dietary test concentrations used in this study were 18.3, 36.6, 73.2, 146, 293,586, 1171 ppm a.i. (Appendix IV). Diet Sampling Samples of the test diets were collected to verify the test concentrations administered and to confirm the stability and homogeneity of the test substance in the diets. Homogeneity of the test substance in the diet was evaluated by collecting six samples from the 18.3 ppm a.i. a.i. test diet and six samples from the 1171 ppm a.i. test diet at preparation on Day 0. Homogeneity samples were collected from the top, middle and bottom of the left and right sections of the mixing vessel. The homogeneity samples also served as verification samples. One verification sample was collected from the control diet and two verification samples were collected from each remaining treatment group at preparation on Day 0. At the end of the exposure period (Day 5), one sample was collected from the control and two samples were collected from each treatment group to determine stability of the test substance in the diet under test conditions. The stability samples were collected from feed remaining in the feeders after being at ambient test pen conditions for five days. Samples were transferred immediately to Wildlife International Ltd. analytical chemistry. 000603 W il d l if e In ter n atio na l, ltd - 11 - PROJECT NO.: 454-103 Analytical Method The method used for the analysis o f the avian diet samples was based upon methodology developed at Wildlife International Ltd. and entitled "Method Outline for the Determination of PFOS in Avian Feed". Avian diet samples were extracted with methanol. Methanol was added to a requisite quantity of feed contained in a French-square glass bottle. Bottles were capped and shaken on a shaker table. Samples were vacuum filtered using qualitative filter paper. The retained feed was rinsed three times with methanol into the filtrate. The filtrate was transferred to a volumetric flask and brought to volume with methanol. As appropriate, samples were further diluted with methanol. Each sample then was diluted with a 50% methanol : 50% NANOpure water solution containing 0.100 mg 4H PFOS (internal standard)/L and 0.05% formic acid (v/v) so that they fell within the calibration range of the PFOS methodology. A method flowchart is provided in Appendix III, Figure 1. Concentrations of PFOS in the standards and samples were determined by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography using a Hewlett-Packard Model 1100 High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) with a Perkin-Elmer API 100LC Mass Spectrometer equipped with a PerkinElmer TurboIonSpray ion source. HPLC separations were achieved using a Keystone Betasil Qg analytical column (100 mm x 2 mm I.D., 3 |im particle size). The instrument parameters are sum m arized in A ppendix III, T able 1. Calibration standards of PFOS prepared in a 50% methanol : 50% NANOpure water solution containing 0.100 mg 4H PFOS (internal standard)/L and 0.05% formic acid (v/v), ranging in concentration from 0.00229 to 0.0457 mg a.i./L were analyzed with the samples. The same and most prominent peak response for PFOS was utilized to monitor PFOS in all calibration, quality control, and study samples. No attempt was made to quantify PFOS on the basis of individual isomeric components. Linear regression equations were generated using peak area response ratios (PFOS : internal standard) versus the respective concentration ratios (PFOS : internal standard) of the calibration standards. A typical calibration curve is presented in Appendix III, Figure 2. The concentration of PFOS in the samples was determined by substituting the peak area response ratios into the applicable linear regression equation. Representative ion chromatograms of low and high calibration standards are presented in Appendix III, Figures 3 and 4, respectively. C00604 W il d l if e Internatio nal, ltd -12- PROJECT NO.: 454-103 The method limit of quantitation (LOQ) for these analyses was set at 1.15 ppm a.i. calculated as the product of the lowest calibration standard analyzed (0.00229 mg a.i./L) and the dilution factor of the matrix blank samples (500). Two matrix blank samples were analyzed to determine possible interferences. No interferences were observed at or above the LOQ during sample analyses (Appendix III, Table 2). An interference in the feed appeared at approximately the same retention time as the peak of interest but it was well below the LOQ. A representative chromatogram of a matrix blank is presented in Appendix III, Figure 5. Avian diet was fortified at 4.57, 183 and 1830 ppm a.i. and analyzed concurrently with the samples to determine the mean procedural recovery (Appendix III, Table 3). Sample concentrations were not corrected for the mean procedural recovery of 94.7%. A representative chromatogram of a matrix fortification is presented in Appendix III, Figure 6. An example calculation is presented for sample number 454-103-2, nominal concentration of 18.3 ppm a.i. in avian diet.

(Model No. B735Q). Each pen had floor space that measured approximately 72 X 90 cm. Ceiling height was approximately 23 cm. External walls, ceilings and floors were constructed o f galvanized steel wire and sheeting. Birds were sorted by weight, then chosen indiscriminately from within each represented weight class for assignment to pens. Each group of birds was identified by pen number and test concentration. Individual birds were identified by leg bands. During the test the average temperature in the brooding compartment of the pens was 38C 2C (SD). Average ambient room temperature for this study was 27.3C 1.2C (SD) with an average relative humidity of 31% 14% (SD). The photoperiod (maintained by a time clock) was sixteen hours o f light per day during acclimation and throughout the test. The light source was fluorescent lights which closely approximate noon-day sunlight. The birds were exposed to an average of C00G 06 W il d l if e In t e r n a t io n a l , ltd - 14- PROJECT NO.: 454-103 approximately 139 lux of illumination. Housing and husbandry practices were based on guidelines established by the National Research Council (5). Observations During acclimation all birds were observed daily. Birds exhibiting abnormal behavior or physical injury were not used. Following test initiation and continuing until termination, all birds were typically observed at least twice daily. A record was maintained o f all mortality, signs of toxicity, and abnormal behavior. Animal Body Weiehts/Feed Consumption Individual body weights were measured at the initiation of the test, on Day 5, Day 8, and on Days 15 and Day 22 for all remaining birds. Average feed consumption values during the exposure period (Days 0-5) and the post-exposure observation period (Days 6-8) were determined by pen for each treatment group and the control group. Additionally, feed consumption was determined for Days 8-15 and 15-22 for the remaining treatment and control birds. Feed consumption was determined by measuring the change in the weight of the feed presented to the birds over a given period of time. The accuracy of feed consumption values may have been affected by the unavoidable wastage o f feed by the birds. Gross Necropsy All test birds that died during the course of the test and all birds remaining at the termination were subjected to a gross necropsy. Additionally, livers were weighed and liver tissue, blood, and bile were collected from birds euthanized on Day 8 and 22, and when possible from those that died during the course of the study. Statistical Analyses Mortality data were analyzed using the computer program of C.E. Stephan (6). The program was designed to calculate the LC50 value and the 95% confidence interval by probit analysis, moving average method or the binomial probability method (7,8,9). In this study, the LC50 value was determined using the probit method. The slope of the concentration-response curve and results of the goodness of fit test are reported. Body weight data were compared by Dunnett's test using TOXSTAT software (10,11). No statistical analyses were applied to feed consumption data. C00G07 W il d l if e In ternatio nal, ltd -15- PROJECT NO.: 454-103 RESULTS Diet Analysis Avian diet samples were collected from the 18.3 and 1171 ppm a.i. test concentrations and analyzed to evaluate homogeneity of the test substance in the avian diet. The analysis of these samples also served as verification of test substance concentrations. Resulting mean measured concentrations, standard deviations and coefficients of variation (CV) for these test concentrations were 19.5 2.13 ppm a.i. (CV = 10.9%) and 1196 70.2 ppm a.i. (CV = 5.87%), respectively (Appendix III, Table 4). Control avian diet samples collected during the test showed no interferences above the LOQ. Samples collected during the test to verify the 36.6, 73.2, 146,293 and 586 ppm a.i. test substance concentrations had mean measured concentrations of 40.2, 74.5, 174, 291 and 537 ppma.i., respectively. These values represented 110, 102, 119, 99.3 and 91.6% of the nominal concentrations, respectively (Appendix III, Table 5). Analysis of avian diet samples collected from feeders after being held at ambient temperature for five days averaged 101, 122, 104, 101, 109, 114 and 102% of the Day 0 values for the 18.3, 36.6, 73.2, 146, 293, 586 and 1171 ppm a.i. test substance concentrations, respectively (Appendix III, Table 6). A representative chromatogram of a test sample is shown in Appendix III, Figure 7. Mortalities and Clinical Observations One incidental mortality occurred in the control group during the course o f the study (Table 1 and Appendix V). On the morning of Day 5, one bird was noted with a broken leg and was subsequently euthanized on Day 6. Additionally, two birds in the control group were intermittently noted with foot lesions associated with cage mate aggression. Otherwise, all control birds were normal in appearance and behavior throughout the test. No treatment related mortalities or overt signs of toxicity were observed in the 18.3, 36.6, or 73.2 ppm a.i. treatment groups. One bird in the 18.3 ppm a.i. treatment group was noted as lame from Day 6 through Day 8, and blood of undetermined origin was noted on the underside of one bird from the 73.2 ppm a.i. treatment group on Day 22. Otherwise, all birds in the 18.3, 36.6 and 73.2 ppm a.i. treatment groups were normal in appearance and behavior throughout the test period. G00S08 W il d l if e In t e r n a t io n a l , ltd -16- PROJECT NO.: 454-103 There was 11% (1 of 9) mortality in the 146 ppm a.i. treatment group, 80% (8 o f 10) mortality in the 293 ppm a.i. treatment group and 100% (10 of 10) mortality in the 586 and 1171 ppm a.i. treatment groups. In the 146 ppm a.i. treatment group, one bird was euthanized on Day 3 after sustaining a broken leg. This incidental mortality was not used in the calculation o f the LC50 value. Additionally, there was one treatment-related mortality in the 146 ppm a.i. treatment group, a bird found dead on the morning of Day 7. Clinical signs of toxicity were observed in this treatment group on Day 5, when two birds displayed wing droop. All other birds at this test concentration were normal in appearance and behavior for the duration of the test. In the 293 ppm a.i. treatment group there were eight treatment-related mortalities, occurring on Days 5, 6 and 7. Signs of toxicity were first observed on the morning of Day 4 and continued to be exhibited through the morning of Day 8 for the single bird euthanized on Day 8, and through the afternoon of Day 8 for the single bird surviving until Day 22. Signs of toxicity included a ruffled appearance, reduced reaction to stimuli (sound and motion), lethargy, wing droop, loss of coordination, lower limb weakness and convulsions. The single remaining bird appeared to have recovered and was normal in appearance and behavior from the afternoon of Day 9 until test termination. In the 586 ppm a.i. treatment group mortalities were first noted on Day 3 and continued to be observed through Day 7, at w hich point all birds had died. O vert signs o f toxicity w ere first observed on the afternoon of Day 2 and continued through the morning o f Day 7, when the final birds were found dead. Signs of toxicity observed among birds in the 586 ppm a.i. treatment group included a ruffled appearance, reduced reaction to stimuli (sound and motion), lethargy, depression, wing droop, loss of coordination, lower limb weakness, lower limb rigidity, prostrate posture, and convulsions. In the 1171 ppm a.i. treatment group 100% mortality had occurred by the morning o f Day 4. Signs of toxicity in the 1171 ppm a.i. treatment group were first observed on the afternoon of Day 2, with the first mortalities noted on the morning of Day 3. Signs of toxicity observed prior to death included a ruffled appearance, reduced reaction to stimuli (sound and motion), lethargy, depression, loss of coordination, wing droop, and lower limb weakness and rigidity. G00609 W il d l if e In t e r n a t io n a l , ltd - 17- PROJECT NO.: 454-103 Bodv Weight and Feed Consumption When compared to the control group, there were no apparent treatment related effects upon body weight among birds in the 18.3, 36.6 or 73.2 ppm a.i. treatment groups. However, there was a concentration responsive reduction in body weight gain or body weight loss in the 146, 293 and 586 ppm a.i. treatment groups during the exposure period (Days 0-5) (Table 2 and Appendix VI). Differences from the control group were statistically significant at p < 0.05 for the 146 ppm a.i. level and at p<0.01 for the 293 and 586 ppm a.i. levels. A statistically significant (p<0.01) reduction in body weight gain continued to be observed at the 146 ppm a.i. test concentration through Day 8 of the study. At the 293 ppm a.i. concentration a statistically significant (p<0.01) mean weight loss continued through Day 8 o f the study and a marked reduction in weight gain was noted through Day 15 o f the study. Due to total mortality, body weight effects could not be determined for the 1171 ppm a.i. level during the exposure period or for the 586 and 1171 ppm a.i. treatment groups for postexposure period. There were no apparent treatment related effects upon feed consumption at the 18.3, 36.6, 73.2 or 146 ppm a.i. test concentrations (Table 3 and Appendix VII). However, a reduction in feed consumption was noted at the 293, 586 and 1171 ppm a.i. treatment groups during the exposure period (Days 0-5). There were no treatment-related effects on feed consumption in any of the surviving treatment groups during the Day 6-8 post-exposure period. In the 293 ppm a.i. treatment group only one bird survived to Day 22. The reduction in feed consum ption observed at the 293 ppm a.i. test concentration during both the Day 8-15 and 15-22 post-exposure periods was the result of having only one bird in the pen, and was not considered to be treatment related. Gross Necronsv During the course of the test, all birds that died were subjected to a gross necropsy. Necropsy results for birds found dead were similar. Common observations included thin condition, loss of muscle mass, altered spleen color, autolysis of tissues and pale organs. Details of the necropsy findings are presented in Table 4. Half o f the surviving birds were subjected to gross necropsy on Day 8 and the remaining birds were necropsied on Day 22, following test termination. On Day 8, one bird in the 73.2 ppm a.i. treatment group was noted with a slightly pale liver. Due to the isolated nature of this finding, it was 600610 W il d l if e In t e r n a t io n a l , ltd -18- PROJECT NO.: 454-103 not considered to be related to treatment. The single bird euthanized from the 293 ppm a.i. treatment group was observed at necropsy to have with a lack of muscle mass and general thinness. Since these findings correlated with an impact upon body weight noted at this concentration, the findings were considered to be treatment related. Necropsy results were unremarkable for all other birds euthanized on Day 8. Similarly, Day 22 necropsy findings were unremarkable for all birds. CONCLUSION The dietary LC50 value for northern bobwhite exposed to PFOS was determined to be 220 ppm a.i. with a 95% confidence interval of 164 ppm a.i. to 289 ppm a.i. The slope of the concentrationresponse curve was 7.005 and the chi-square value was 0.023. The no mortality concentration was 73.2 ppm a.i. Based upon treatment related mortality, signs o f toxicity and effects upon body weight gain at the 146 ppm a.i. a.i test concentration, the no-observed-effect concentration was 73.2 ppm a.i..

The protocol was amended to indicate that bile will be collected from all study birds. The protocol was clarified to indicate the collection of liver from birds that died during the course of the study 2. Blood samples were collected on Day 8 and Day 22 in non-heparinized 5 ml borosilicate glass test tubes. The protocol indicated that heparinized vacutainers would be used. 3. The protocol was amended to change the test concentrations from 0, 20,40, 80, 160, 640 and 1280 ppm a.i., to 0, 18.3, 36.6, 73.2, 146, 293, 586 and 1171 ppm a.i. Test concentrations were changed to reflect the test substance purity given in the new certificate of analysis. 4. The temperatures from several brooder units on Day 4, 7, 8, and all brooder units on Day 22 were not recorded 5. The afternoon observations were inadvertently not recorded for 2 birds in the 640 ppm a.i. treatment group on April 26, 1999.

The test substance characterization was revised on 9/7/00, following study completion, and the purity was determined to be 86.9%. The Sponsor requested that the results of this study be revised to reflect the most recent purity analyses. The results previously presented were simply corrected by the ratio of the two purities or a factor of 0.9603. No attempt was made to recalculate analytical standard concentrations or measured concentrations from original raw data. As such, minor errors due to rounding may be present. Attached is the revised summary page from the final report and the most recent certificate of analysis.
