- No.:
- #6
- Size:
- >= 40 - < 63 µm
- Distribution:
- ca. 36 %
- No.:
- #7
- Size:
- > 40 µm
- Distribution:
- ca. 6.8 %
- Conclusions:
- According to a granulometry study (sieving) OECD 110, the mean diameter of DBTU is about 60 um, D10 equals 20 um and D90um is 460 um
Since the inhalable fraction is 42.8% (i.e. 428 000mg/kg >> 5000 mg/kg), DBTU is considered as having extremely fine particles.
