Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Particle Size Distribution:
The particle size ranges from approx. 0.4 to 340 µm.



Volume median diameter: 61.7 µm.


Approx. 3.4 % of the total volume is found in particles of
below 5 µm diameter.


Approx. 5 % of the total volume is found in particles of
below  10 µm diameter.
