Key result

Percentile:

D50

Mean:

< 105 µm

Remarks on result:

not determinable because of methodological limitations

Remarks:

No St. dev. was determined

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

In a non-GLP, non-guideline study, the test material was placed on a 140 wire mesh sieve and agitated for 5 minutes to determine the approximate weight % of the substance passing through the sieve. Based on this test, it was determined that the mass median aerodynamic diameter of the substance was < 105 microns.

Description of key information

The mass median aerodynamic diameter is <105 microns.
