The percent particles below 10 μm aerodynamic diameter using EN 15051-2 - Measurement of the dustiness of bulk materials - Part 2: Rotating drum method are taken from the thoracic mass fraction collected from the 80 pore per inch metal foam and filter. The dustiness result is normally expressed in mg/kg and therefore it is converted to % wt. by dividing by 10 000 in line with the text of the classification of TiO2:

The content of particles with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm for the sample E171-E was 0.01 % wt (determined by the rotating drum method according to EN 15051-2). On the basis of the classification criteria for titanium dioxide (Regulation (EC) 2020/217), this titanium dioxide form does not require a classification as a category 2 carcinogen.
