72 % of paticles are > 100 µm; 28 % of particles are in the range of 40-100 µm; 0% of the particles < 40 µm.

Conclusions:
There are no particles with diameters < 40µm. Most of the particles are > 100µm.
72.0 % wt >100 µm
0% wt < 40 µm

Executive summary:

Particle size distribution of the test material was determined with sieves according to USP method. There were no particles with diameters < 40µm. Most of the particles were > 100µm (72.0 % wt >100 µm; 0% wt < 40 µm).

In conclusion, no throracic or respirable fraction of particles is identified.  

Description of key information

Particle size distribution was determined with sieves according to USP method. There were no particles with diameters < 40µm. Most of the particles were > 100µm (72.0 % wt >100 µm; 0% wt < 40 µm).

In conclusion, no thoracic or respirable fraction of particles could be determined.
