Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
the test substance as a powder clogged all dust generator equipment used during preliminary testing (see Table 1). Therefore, the unground test substance was diluted to a 25% w/w dilution in distilled water for all trials conducted. In addition, it was decided that a dry weight gravimetric measurement procedure was to be used (see Section 5.B.6).
The exposure procedures and atomization equipment used were based on the results of pre-test trial number 2 which provided a gravimetric concentration of 2.03 mg/L with a mass median aerodynamic diameter of 2.21 μm.
