Description of key information

The following particle size distribution was determined: 
0.07% < 4 μm; 0.98% in the range of 4-10 μm; 98.94% in the range 10-100 μm; 0.01% > 100 μm(spherical volume).
0.08% < 4 μm; 1.12% in the range 4-10 μm; 98.80% in the range 10-100 μm (cubical volume).
The median diameter was 4.32 μm.
