BIODEGRADATION (BOD/COD)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity: A mixture containing perfluorooctanesulfonate, which may also be referred to as PFOS, FC-95, or as a component of FC-206C and L-5439. (1-Octanesulfonic acid, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptadecafluoro-, potassium salt, CAS # 2795-39-3)
Rem arks: The 3M production lot number was 501. The test sample is referred to as L-5439 and FC-206C. Current information indicates it is a mixture of 0.73% PFOS, 76.09% water, 15% diethylene glycol butyl ether, 4% urea, 1.55% sodium octyl sulfate, 1.47% hydroxy foamer, 1.05% polyoxyethylene monooctylphenyl ether, 0.06% sodium lauryl sulfate, and 0.05% benzotriazole.
The following is an abbreviated summary o f multiple biodegradation studies on FC-206C. These studies apply to the test sample as a mixture with incompletely characterized concentration o f impurities. Data does not accurately reflect the biodegradation potential o f the fluorochemical component o f the test sample..
METHOD:_______________________________________________________
M ethods: Various methods. Most not specified. Type: BOD (Carbonaceous and Total) GLP: No Y ear com pleted: 1981-1982 C ontact tim e: 20 days Inoculum : Stale sewage from 3M's Cottage Grove facility and seed from various sources.
RESULTS____________________________________________________
Chemical Oxygen Demand:
360,000 - 450,000 mg/kg
Total Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD): 5-Day:
10-Day: 12-Day: 20-Day:

001634
Carbonaceous-Biochemical Oxygen Demand (C-BOD):
5-Day:
120,000 - 251,800 mg/kg
10-Day:
270,700 - 320,000 mg/kg
12-Day:
330,000 mg/kg
2 0 -D a y :
340,000 - 411,000 mg/kg
C O N C L U S IO N S
No reliable conclusions can be derived from this study. The indication is that the majority of the product components are readily biodegradable.
Subm itter: 3M Company, Environmental Laboratory, P.O. Box 33331, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55133
DATA QUALITY___________________________________________________
Reliability: Klimisch ranking 3. Study lacks description and records of the method followed. The inoculum is not property characterized. The testing was conducted on a mixture with chemicals having varying degrees of biodegradability, leading to potential misinterpretation of the results. The studies lack information on the purity of the test substance and lack analytical measurements of the concentration of fluorochemical proportion.
R E F E R E N C E S ____________________________________________________
Test was conducted by multiple vendors at the request of the 3M Company, 3M Environmental Lab, St. Paul, MN, Lab Request Numbers 6812S, 7625, 7736, 7737, 7738, and 7903.

MIL-SPEC AFFF BOD AND COD TESTING Date MAY 25, 1982
Attached is a summary of the BOD, carbonaceous BOD, and COD test results on FC-203C, FC-206C, and FC-780B. This testing was conducted at the 3M Environmental Laboratory and four outside laboratories. The results were more variable than I had anticipated. The Galbraith results on FC-206C were typical of their result from past testing, i.e., they had a very high B O D 2 0 /COD ratio. This occurred despite the fact that some of this testing was done with a nitrification inhibitor (the C-BOD results) and some of the tests were done using a seed unlikely to contain a large population of nitrifying organisms (seed from the Knoxville waste treatment system). While I had previously thought that their results were due to nitrification, I must now say that I do not know why Galbraith gets such atypically high BOD results. I plan to use the average data from all of these tests in preparing-fcur Product Environmental Data Sheets and input for our Material Safety Data Sheets. If you have any questions l^pncerning these data, please feel free to contact me on 778-5079.

* Calculated BOD's from different dilutions were very inconsistent. Pace agreed to repeat this work but inadvertently lost their repeated test results as well. We did not request a third testing nor did we include these values in the averages.
