Study Objective: The objective o f this study is to assess the potential for oral absorption, urinary and fecal clearance and biological persistence o f perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (PO SF) in male Sprague Dawley rats after a single oral dose. The POSF compound is the starting material for the synthesis o f a wide variety o f perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFO S) based m aterials. The purpose o f this study is to understand the rate o f metabolism o f POSF to PFOS by the liver. This study will provide data for proper risk characterization o f POSF.

H usbandry: H ousing: Three specific rats from groups 3 and 6 will be housed individually in metabolism cages for portions o f the study (see Table 2). W hen not in metabolism cages, these rats will be group housed in standard cages. All other rats will be group housed in standard cages throughout the study. D iet/W ater: H arlan Teklad LM -485 M ouse/R at Sterilizable D iet, supplied by Harlan Teklad, M adison, W I, and tap w ater will be provided to all rats ad libitum throughout the study. Environm ent: Environm ental controls for the animal room will be set to maintain a tem perature o f 72 3F, humidity o f 30-70% , a minimum o f 10 exchanges o f room air per hour and a 12 hour light/dark cycle.
Dose and Dosing Procedures: M ethod o f adm inistration/D ose p rep aratio n : A single 5mg/kg dose o f PO SF will be adm inistered via oral gavage to rats in groups 4-6 on day zero o f the study. The PO SF will be prepared as a 1% (1 mg/ml) uniform suspension in 2% Tween 80 using a 15 ml tissue grinder. A volume o f 5 ml suspension / kg body w eight will be adm inistered to each rat. R e-suspension o f solids will be perform ed w ith 5 strokes o f the tissue grinder pestel before each sample is draw n-up in the syringe for dosing. A single 5 ml / kg body w eight dose o f 2% Tw een 80 w ill be administered via oral gavage to rats in groups 1-3 on day zero o f the study.
Observation o fAnimals: C linical O bservations: Each animal will be observed daily for m ortality and m orbidity and notable findings will be recorded. Additional findings will be recorded as they are observed. Body W eights: Each animal will be weighed immediately prior to dosing, weekly thereafter and immediately prior to euthanasia.
Specimen Collection: F requency (see Table 2): U rine and feces collections will be made on days 1 , 2 , 4 , 1 4 and 29 post dose. N ecropsies will be perform ed on days 1, 4 and 29 post dose.

Method of Specimen Collection: U rine and feces will be collected from each metabolism cage at the designated times. The initial volum e o f urine will be recorded, the sides o f the urine collection apparatus will be washed w ith 10-20 ml deionized w ater and the final volume o f urine will be brought to 45 ml w ith additional deionized w ater. Daily feces w eight will be recorded for each animal. A t the designated times, animals will be euthanized by CO2 and gross necropsy perform ed. During necropsy, blood ( 6 ml) will be collected via the abdominal aorta and transferred to blood collection tubes w ithout anticoagulant. Blood samples will be allowed to clot for a period o f 15 to 30 m inutes at room tem perature, and the clot will be spun dow n in a centrifuge at 1100 x g for 5 minutes. The serum will be transferred to labeled 1.5 ml m icrofuge tubes and centrifuged again at 2000 x g to rem ove any remaining red blood cells. Each sera sample will then be transferred to a separate labeled polypropylene m icrofuge tube and flashfrozen in liquid nitrogen. Liver, kidneys and subcutaneous fat from each animal w ill be removed, weighed, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and placed individually into labeled sterile sample bags. The rem ainder o f each carcass
will be placed in a labeled ziplock bag and frozen (-70 C) until analysis.
Specimen Handling:
Specimens will tem porarily be stored in a freezer set to m aintain -60 to -
80C. F or m etabolite analysis, these specimens will be packed in dry ice
and shipped to:

The 3M Environmental Laboratory will m anage the extraction and analysis o f sera, liver, urine and feces for the parent compound, POSF, and its presum ed m etabolite, PFOS. All tissue sam ples will be retained for possible future analysis o f total organic fluorine (TO F) if deemed necessary by die Study D irector. 3M Environm ental Laboratory o r its designee would perform this analysis. All results w ill be provided for inclusion in the final report.
The number, type and date o f collection o f specimens to be generated for analysis are as follows:

Data Analysis: D ata collected on tissue levels o f parent com pound and identifiable m etabolites will be analyzed for toxicokinetic param eters and for statistically significant differences betw een groups using Students T -test and/or ANOVA.
Responsibilities: Deanna Nabbefeld and A ndrew Seacat will be responsible for dosing th e animals,
collecting in-life specimens, perform ing the necropsy and collecting and sending tissue samples for analysis. K ris Hansen, 3M Environm ental, will be responsible for analytical analysis. Andrew Seacat will draft a final report and ensure the report receives appropriate 3M review before a final report is issued.
