SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic, and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

PFOS is persistent in the environment and has been shown to bioconcentrate in fish. It has been detected in a number of species of wildlife, including marine mammals. Its persistence, presence in the environment and bioaccumulation potential indicate cause for concern(1). /Perfluorooactane solfonate/

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Subchronic or Prechronic Exposure/ Ten male rats/group were dosed orally in the drinking water with 0, 0.3, 1.0 or 3.0 mg/kg/day of /Lithium perfluorooctane sulfonate/ (LPOS) (purity: 96.87%) for 90 days. Ten female rats/group were likewise treated with 0, 0.02, 0.06 or 0.20 mg/kg/day of the test material for 90 days. When the high dose females failed to demonstrate any treatment-related effects, an additional study was instituted with ten females/group treated with 0 or 0.60 mg/kg/day of the test material for 91 days. No mortality nor clinical signs resulted from the treatment. The mean body weights for the respective high dose male and female groups were 87.5 (p<0.05) and 90.6% of those of the control after 13 weeks of treatment. Mean values for red blood cell counts, hemoglobin and hematocrit for the males were affected in a dose-related manner with lower mean values noted for both 1.0 and 3.0 mg/kg/day groups (p<0.05). Similarly, the mean rbc count and hematocrit were lower for the females at 0.6 mg/kg/day (p<0.05). For the males, mean serum total bilirubin was elevated in the 3.0 mg/kg/day group (p<0.05). In contrast, the mean serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels were decreased in a dose-related manner, with significance (p<0.05) noted for cholesterol in the 1.0 mg/kg/day group and triglycerides in the 0.3 mg/kg/day group. The mean blood urea nitrogen was increased in the 1.0 and 3.0 mg/kg/day groups (p<0.05). The mean absolute liver and relative liver weights were increased in a treatment-related manner with significance (p<0.05) noted for the 1.0 and 3.0 mg/kg/day groups. The mean relative kidney and testes weights were increased in the 3.0 mg/kg/day group. Histopathologic examination of the livers in the 3.0 mg/kg/day treatment group revealed an increased incidence and severity of hepatocytic vacuolation. Target Organ: liver and blood parameters. No adverse effect indicated. NOEL: (M) <0.3 mg/kg/day (based upon the reduction of serum triglycerides in the 0.3 mg/kg/day treatment group), (F) 0.2 mg/kg/day (based upon the lower rbc count and hematocrit and greater mean liver weight in the 0.6 mg/kg/day treatment group).

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Developmental or Reproductive Toxicity/ In the developmental study in rabbits, maternal toxicity was observed at 1 mg/kg/day and above, based on reduced body weight gains during the dosing period, followed by a rebound in body weight gains post-dosing. Developmental toxicity was observed at the highest dose tested, 4 mg/kg/day. Effects included feto-lethality, skeletal variations (unossified skull bones, sternebrae, talus, pubis and extra full rib) and decreased fetal body weights. A maternal NOAEL was not established and the maternal LOAEL was 1 mg/kg/day, based on reduced body weight gains. The developmental NOAEL was 2 mg/kg/day. In the rat developmental study, maternal toxicity was observed at 6 mg/kg/day based on reductions in mean body weights, mean body weight gains, food consumption and clinical signs (hunched and few feces in one animal). The maternal NOAEL is 3 mg/kg/day. The developmental NOAEL is 6 mg/kg/day and the LOAEL is 12 mg/kg/day based on increased fetolethality, lower fetal body weights, external and soft tissue malformations, and skeletal variations.

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Developmental or Reproductive Toxicity/ Twenty four or 25 mated female Crl:CD rats/group were treated by oral gavage with 0, 3, 6, or 12 mg/kg/day of /Lithium perfluorooctane sulfonate/ (LPOS) (purity: 96%) (lot no. 101) from day 6 through day 15 of gestation. Four of the females in the high dose group were euthanized in extremis on gestation days 17 or 19. Another female in that group was found dead on day 18. Clinical signs of hunched posture, recumbency and staining of the anogenital region were noted for the high dose animals. In addition, one of the animals which died displayed tremors and convulsions with rigid and flaccid body tone. Lower mean body weight gain was demonstrated by both the 6 and 12 mg/kg/day groups (p<0.01) over the course of the treatment period. Likewise, mean daily food consumption was lower for these two groups during the treatment period (p<0.01). In addition, the mean daily food consumption for the 3 mg/kg/day treatment group was lower than that of the control from days 12 to 16 of gestation (p<0.01). Late resorptions and fetal death occurred in the high dose group. The mean fetal weight of the 12 mg/kg/day treatment group was lower than that of the control group (p<0.01). The high dose group suffered from cleft palate (84/107), and edema (93/259) as well as an increased incidence of unossified bones. ... Maternal NOEL: < 3 mg/kg/day (based upon reduced food consumption by the 3 mg/kg/day group), Developmental NOEL: 6 mg/kg/day (based upon lower mean fetal weight and incidence of late resorptions, fetal death, cleft palate and edema in the fetuses of the 12 mg/kg/day treatment group)

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Developmental or Reproductive Toxicity/ Sixteen mated female New Zealand White rabbits/group were treated by oral gavage with 0, 1, 2, or 4 mg/kg/day of /Lithium perfluorooctane sulfonate/ (LPOS) (purity: 96%) (lot no. 101) from day 7 through day 19 of gestation. One doe each in the 2 and 4 mg/kg/day treatment groups died. One doe in the 1 mg/kg/day and 3 does in the 4 mg/kg/day aborted their offspring between days 21 and 25 of gestation. Three other females in the high dose group delivered their litters early (days 28 or 29). There was a dose-related decrease in body weight gain over the treatment period (1 mg/kg/day: p<0.05; 2 and 4 mg/kg/day, p<0.01). The number of does producing few or no feces during the dosing period increased in a treatment-related manner. The number of early and late resorptions suffered by the high dose females was greater than that of the control animals (p<0.05). The 4 mg/kg/day treatment level was toxic to the does based upon the lower mean body weight and the increased incidence of abortion. The mean body weight of the fetuses in the 4 mg/kg/day group was lower than that of the controls (p<0.01). In accordance with the lower body weight, skeletal development was retarded with a greater incidence of unossified bones in the high dose offspring. ... Maternal NOEL:<1 mg/kg/day (based upon the lower body weight gain and decreased fecal production in the 1 mg/kg/day treatment group), Developmental NOEL: 2 mg/kg/day (based upon the increased number of resorptions and lower mean fetal weight for the 4 mg/kg/day treatment group).
