 Discussion

Too few particles were of a size less than 10.0 µm to allow accurate assessment of the mass median aerodynamic diameter.

Sampling for the cascade impactor determinations was performed by rolling the test item container for approximately ten minutes then sampling from the top, middle and bottom.

The inhalable fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles which can be inhaled by nose or mouth, the thoracic fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles that passes the larynx and the respirable fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles that reaches the alveoli.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Particle size data acquired for the test item is shown in the following table:

Measurement Method Result
Proportion of test item having an inhalable particle size <100 µm Sieve 67.1%
Proportion of test item having a thoracic particle size <10.0 µm Cascade Impactor 7.18%
Proportion of test item having a respirable particle size <5.5 µm Cascade Impactor 2.78%
Executive summary:

Particle size data have been acquired using a procedure designed to comply with the European Commission technical guidance docunt 'Particle Size Distribution, Fibre Length and Diater Distribution' (June 1996), which satisfies the requirents of OECD Guideline 110. The results are as follows:
