Re: Information on Perfluorooctane Sulfonate,
Perfluorooctanoic Acid, and Related Compounds
Dear Sir or Madam:
`This continues 3M's voluntary submissionsofdata on perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and related compounds, as part ofour ongoing dialogue with
EPA regarding perfluorochemicals.
Weare enclosing a numofbstuediers, whicharelistedontheenclosed index. Asinour
`pastsubmissions,wehaveorganized thestudiesby chemical, andwithinthe sectionsforeach
