ABSTRACT
The company has set a CEG (Conaunity Exposure Guideline) of 1 ppb in water for aflimoniuin pefluoro octanoate (C8), a surfactant in the Teflon* dispersion used
to produce Teflon* Fiber. A conservative position of assuming all C8 ends up
in the James River would produce an average concentration of 0.1 ppb. The only time the CEG could be exceeded would be during periods of extreme low flows in
the river.

1. INTRODUCTION
Teflon* colloidal dispersion is mixed with viscose in the manufactute of Teflon* fiber. The cellulose contained In che viscose is regenerated i-n die coagulation/acid bath in spinning. The regenerated cellulose acts as a matrix to bind Teflon* particles prior to sintering. Surfactants are used in the manufacture of colloidal Teflon* dispersions to prevent conglomeration of particles. One of the surfactaots used is F-143, ammonium perfluoro octanoate (commonly referred to as C8),
2. DISCUSSION
A. EARLIER ISSUES
In 1978, the 3H Company notified DuPont that C8 used in Teflon*
polymerization may be teratogenic. Airborne dust or vapors were felt to
be the source of the exposure. Several technical projects(Reports SpAR 79-3, SpAR 82-1 & TR 82-1) vere initiated to study the potential exposure to C8 by DuPont employees- C8 was not detected, in the work
place air environment. The handling of coated packing yarns or direct
contact with Teflon* dispersion were the only potential areas that personnel can be exposed to significant levels of C8 (Ret. 4). Tests at Haskell Lab shoved no transfer of C8 from yarns to rabbit skin and suggested C8 exposure of persons handling dry yarn is minimal .(Ref. 5)*
C8 was later determined not to be teratogenic by 3M and DuPont's Haskell
Labs.
B. TEFLON* DISPERSION
Teflon* dispersion is produced in a batch operation at Washington fforks. C8 which, is the ammonium salt of perfluoro octanoic acid is used as a wetting agent to prevent conglomeration of the Teflon* particles. A batch of dispersion is initially about 7000 Ibs which contains 3000 Ibs of Teflon* monomer. A total of 4060 grams of C8 i6 added to the batch i.n the precharge and injection seeps. After polymerization is completed, the dispersion is decanted to obtain 60X solids- Washington Works estimates that 50X of the C8 is removed with the decanted superannuate and the other 502 goes with the concentrated dispersion. On a Teflon* solids basis, the C8 concentration would be 1490 ppm, and
900 ppm on a dispersion basis.
The Teflon* dispersion (T 3311) used for fiber production is pH adjusted with sodium hydroxide which changes the C8 from an ammonium salt to a sodium salt. In the coagulating/acid bath used in Teflon* fiber Sipinning, the C8 will convert to the acid forai, perfluoro octanoic acid.

2. DISCUSSION CONT'D
C, PREVIOUS CONCERNS
Previous research exawined employee potential exposure to C8 through handling of yarn. Sintered Teflon* yarn had non-detectable levels of C8 (Kef. 4). The Teflon* fiber sintering temperature is 325 C. The boiling point of perfluoro octanoic acid is 188 C. Yarns vith a Teflon* coating, which are not exposed to high temperatures did contain detectable levels of C8. Therwal treatment of these yarns was effective in removing the C8. The research shoved that the C8 removal was a
function of time and temperature (Table l),(8ef. 2). IR scans of off
gas from the heated yarn samples provided the basis for the conclusion that the C8 decarboxylates into C02 and perfluoro monohydride and does
niot evaporate as it is heated up to 200 C (Ref- 4).
The data follows the kinetic "rule of thumb" that increasing the temperature 10 C produces a doubling of the rate- Extrapolating this relationship up to the sintering temperature of Teflon* predicts that
all the C8 is removed from the fiber.
D- PRESENT ENVIRQlNmiENTAL CONCERNS
The present environmental concerns vith C8 are with ground water contamination. A CEG(Conununity Exposure Guidelines) of 1 ppb in water
has been established by Haskell Labs.
II.Samples of effluent from different spots in the Teflon* spin-ning process
were taken to estimate the concentration of C8 in the site's waste
streams- Sample locations are listed in Appendix I. CH2M Hill was
contracted to analyze the samples. A summary of their results are in
Appendix I. A complete report from CH2H Hill is contained in Appendix
The sample results do not allow for a complete mass balance. The measured concentrations in the effluent streams only accounts for about 50X of the C8,(Fig. 1 & 2 ). There are several possible explanations,
the initial C8 concentration is 750 ppm on a dry Teflon* basis, the C8 , chemically reacts, it is encased in the yarn, it decomposes, evaporates
or the reported levels are in error low. The lower initial C8
concentration is not likely because of independent analysis done by
Washington Work and Sprvanee have measured the concentration, at about
1000 ppm on a dispersion basis. The C8 will change to perfluoro octanoic acid in the bath which should not react uith the normal contents of the Teflon* spinning acid bath. There is no reasonable way
to prove the idea of C8 being encased in the yarn.

2. DISCUSSION CONT^
D. PRESENT EMVIRQNHfiMTAL CONCERNS CQNTID
Previous work measured C8 on unsinterred Teflon* yarn at 60 ppm (Ref. 4). The concentration would need to be 700 ppaa to account for the Missing C8. The previous work concluded that the C8 carried with the unsinterred Teflon* yarn vould decompose during the sinterring process. This is in contradiction to ffashingcon Works process of recovering C8 from their "fine powder'1 exhaust stream.
"Fine powder" Teflon* has been tested and found to contain little or no
C8- The "fine powders1' are dried at 190 C. Bashington Works recovery of C8 froni the "fine powders" exhaust contradicts the previous
conclusion about decarboxylation versus evaporation. If C8 'evaporates off the yarn in the fiber spinning process, it should condensed in the
spinning exhaust system. To reduce the potential for a duct fire, vater
is sprayed in the exhaust hood to reduce the temperature down belou 65 C. The exhaust gas then passes through a vet scrubber and the final gas temperature is basically reduced to ambient conditions. The vater drained from the exhaust hood and the scrubber go into the Teflon*
basement east floor trench. If all of the C$ eventually ends up in the
sewer, this would lead to the conclusion that the analysis from CH2M
. Hill are low.
CH2H Hill ran surrogates on three samples- Surrogate recoveries were
not determined on the high concentrated samples due to the large
dilution required for analysis. Surrogates were run on the discharge from the exhaust scrubber and two distilled water samples, one sent by Spruance and one from CH2M Hill's lab. The exhaust scrubber effluent VAS analyzed to have 1.8 ppb of C8, and the detection of known amounts of surrogate material added was leas than 50Z. The explanation for the
low surrogate recovery was 'due to the noise created by a large
non-target chroniatographic peak coupled vith a large dilution factor. Decomposition products of cellulose that are scrubbed out of the exhaust gas are the mostly likely cause of the non-target chromatographic peak. The surrogate recoveries on the distilled vater samples ran from 52X to 86X. The possibility of the analysis being low is real.
There is alot of contradicting material on the fate of C8 in the Teflon*
spinning process. The belief that CH2M Hill's results are lou by a factor of "2X would tie together the majority of the material. The 60
ppn measured concentration of C8 on the yarn only accounts for "5X of
the total material. The other 95X exits the process in the yet portion
of the spinning process, the washing step since the acid bath is 100% recycled. The 5X on the yarn evaporates and then condenses in the exhaust hood similar to Washington Works recovery process. Only trace amounts of C8 should reach the scrubber. The amount found in the exhaust scrubber was leas than 0.02% of the total amount.

2. DISCUSSION COtfTP 0. PRESENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS CONTD
If 95X of the C8 exits the process vith the vash water, the
concentration of Stt #2 sample should have been 4600 ppb. CH2H Hill's
measured amount of 2400 ppb is 52X of that level. This percentage is in the range of report surrogate recoveries on distilled water*
The nose conservative position in estimating the potential environmental
Impact is to assume that all of the C8 ends up in the plant's uaste effluent. This would about double all of CH2H Hill's measured
concentrations (Fig 3 & 4).
During the sampling period 11/13 & 11/14/91 and estimated 1194 grams/day
of C8 were discharge to the James River. The long terra average(1937 to 1987) flow for the Janes River is 5104 KHgpd- This would make the C8
concentration in the James River an estimated 0.06 ppb,
The average annual prodluct;on rate for Teflon* fibers is I MM Ib. This would discharge 1490 Ib. of C8 to the James River annually* The estimated C8 concentration in the river would be 0.10 ppb. The maximum production rate for Teflon^ fibers is 4200 Ib./day. This could add 6.3 Ibs CS/day to the James River and produce an estimated C8 concentration of 0.15 ppb in the river.
The low flow in a 10 year repeating cycle (as defined by 7Q10) for the James River is 408 HWgpd. An average production rate during this period would produce an estimated C8 concentration in the James River of 1.20 ppb and maximum production rates would increase the concentration to 1.84 ppb. During the low flow periods, which should happen once every 10 years, production may need to be curtailed to 2300 Ib./day of Teflon* fiber to stay below the CECr of 1 ppb.

SPBUftNOB C8 ASSESSMENT
As a result of our discussions of 11/1/91, Environmental Affairs has sampled various points in the Spruance Teflon process as well as the site wastewatec treatment system for ainnioniu pecfluocooctanate (ca). The results are contained in the attached table. C8 is used as a dispersant to make PTFE at Parkersburg. IP'trB is used at Spruance to make Teflon*" fiber. CS is an impurity in PTFE and thus, is introduced into the process at Spcuance. The sampling scheme employed evaluated the C8 content at the wash water discharge in the spinning operation, in the air emissions control scrubbec effluent, in
the area process sever, in the site composite process sewer (inlet to
waste-water treatment system), and at the discharge o the MWTS which combines with the non-contact streams discharging to the James River.
C8 content in these samples appear in line with your eacliec estimates, Assuming Outfall 002 flow of 10 MMGD, a total site effluent of 14.4 MMGD (winter time), and a James River low flow 7Q10 of 408 WGD, a civer concentration of 0.4 ppb is calculated as a worst case.
I would appreciate your comments on these sample results.

estimated concentration. The results ror tha dilution will ba
reported on a separate Foi-m I and will be flagged with a "D" if
tha dilution brings the concentration within proper calibration.
Thig flag identifies compounds which have been run at a dilution teo bring the concentration of that compound within the linear range of the instrument. "D" qualifiers are only used for
samples that have bean run initially with results above acceptable
ranges. For secondary dilutions the -OL" suffix, i-s appended to
the sample number on the Foicm I.
