Particle size distribution (Granulometry)
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- particle size distribution (granulometry)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: OECD 403
- Deviations:
- no
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: EU Method B.2
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The particle size distribution of the test material was determined using a Mercer 7 stage cascade impactor (Model 02-130, In-Tox . Products Inc, Alberquerque, New Mexico, USA) via gravimetric analysis of the test item deposited on each stage of the cascade impactor.
MMAD and GSD were calculated. - GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of method:
- cascade impaction
- Type of distribution:
- counted distribution
- Mass median aerodynamic diameter:
- > 2.56 - < 2.79 µm
- Percentile:
- D50
- Mean:
- > 2.56 - < 2.79 µm
- Remarks on result:
- other: Migrated from fields under 'Mass median diameter' as D50 percentile. No source field for Standard deviation.
- Conclusions:
- The mass median diameter of the particles was > 2.56 and < 2.79µm.
- Endpoint:
- particle size distribution (granulometry)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- test procedure in accordance with national standard methods with acceptable restrictions
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The determination of particle size was made by a screening process with a specific mesh size in an air jet made by subpressure.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- sieving
- Type of distribution:
- volumetric distribution
- No.:
- #1
- Size:
- < 100 µm
- Distribution:
- >= 15 %
- Conclusions:
- The particle size distribution shows that ≥15% of particles were < 100µm in diameter. Therefore, the Particle size distribution indicates substance is an inhalation risk (a significant proportion of the particles are present at < 100 µm).

Description of key information
Particle Size Distribution: > 15 % Particles < 100 µm (Weight of Evidence)
Additional information
The substance is manufactured as a powder. The available data indicate that the substance contains 15% particles < 100 µm in diameter and therefore, the substance is considered to be inhalable (Schongart (2010), Schuler (2010)).
