ACUTE TO XICITY TO FISH (FATHEAD MINNOW )
TEST SUBSTANCE________________________________________________
Identity: A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FX-3104. (1Octanesulfonic acid) (CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M production lot number was not noted. The test sample is F X -3104,6%. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 0.48% PFOS, 14.09% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 59% water, 17.6% ethylene glycol, 1.44% sodium octyl sulfate, 4% inhibitor, 2.0% polyoxyethylene monooctylphenyl ether, 1.25% propane sultane foamer, 0.03% sodium lauryl sulfate, and 0.1% benzotriazole.
The following summary applies to a mixture with incompletely characterized concentrations o f impurities. Data may not accurately reflect the toxicity o f the fluorochemical component o f the test sample.
METHOD:________________________________________________________
Method: Not given.
Type: Acute static-renewal range-finder
GLP: No
Year com pleted: 1985
Species: Pimephales promelas
Supplier: Commenai Supplier, Brady, NE.
A nalytical m onitoring: Temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen.
Exposure period: 96-hours
Statistical methods: LC50 values were calculated using logistic regression
methods (probit analysis).
Test fish age: Juveniles
Length and weight:
Average length - 41 mm
Average weight = 0.50 g (wet)
Loading: 0.67 g/L
Pretreatm ent: 25 mg/L Tetracycline HCI
Test conditions:
Dilution w ater: Carbon-filtered well water
Dilution w ater chem istry: Not given.
Lighting: Not given. Stock and test solution preparation: The test material was added directly to the dilution water on a weight/volume basis. Concentrations dosing rate: Solution renewal during the study. S tability o f the test chem ical solutions: Not noted. Exposure vessels: 4 L glass beakers containing 3 L test solution. Num ber o f replicates: 1 for exposure concentrations, 2 for blank control. Num ber o f fish per replicate: 4.
002985
Num ber o f concentrations: five plus a blank control W ater chem istry during the study:
pH range (0-96 hours): 7.6 - 7.8 (control exposure) 7.6 - 7.7 (1000 mg/L exposure)
Tem perature range (0-96 hours): 19 - 20 C Dissolved oxygen range (0-96 hours):
7.0 - 9.3 mg/L (control exposure) 4.2 - 9.3 mg/L (1000 mg/L exposure)
RESULTS_________________________________________________________
Nom inal concentrations: Blank control, 1 , 1 0 ,1 0 0 , 500, and 1000 mg/L
Elem ent values: 96-hour LC50 = >1000 mg/L
Element values based on nominal concentrations
Rem arks: Testing was conducted on a 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 >1000 mg/L.
Subm itter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133
DATA QUALITY___________________________________________________
R eliability: Klimisch ranking 3. The study was a range-finder with limited number of organisms exposed at each concentration. There is a lack of characterization of the test sample. Test solutions lack analytical confirmation of the amount of fluorochemical proportion in the solution.

(1) Data were averages of two replications for each concentration with ten (10) fish per replicate. A total of twenty fish were used per concentration.
(2) LC^q values were calculated using logistic regression methods (Problt Analysis).
