Reference
Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
No data.
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Conducted according to suitable methodology and acceptable for assessment. This study is considered to be scientifically justified for use as a key study.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Laser particle sizer Malvern with unit dry Scirocco 2000.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
other: Laser particle sizer Malvern with unit dry Scirocco 2000.
Type of distribution:
counted distribution
Percentile:
D50
Remarks on result:
other: Migrated from fields under 'Mass median diameter' as D50 percentile. No source field for Standard deviation.
No.:
#1
Size:
< 100 µm
Distribution:
ca. 100 %

No data.

Conclusions:
The particle size determination of calcium hydrogenorthophosphate shows that ca. 100% of particles were < 100µm in diameter. This indicates substance is an inhalation risk (a significant proportion of the particles are present at < 100 µm).

This study is conducted according to an appropriate method and is therefore considered to be acceptable and to adequately satisfy the regulatory requirement as a key study for this endpoint.

Description of key information
