Conclusions:
In accordance with the CEN document, EN 481 as reference in the REACH Guidance Part R.7a on information requirements, 10% of the substance is within the inhalable fraction (< 100µm).
The substance has a low propensity to become airborne (AmBr Section 8.5.2 - Acute inhalation Kieran (1998) Key) with a maximum attainable concentration of 0.1 mg/L.
The substance is considered to be not inhalable and has a low fugacity.
Executive summary:

The granulometry of the substance was determined in an in-house study using a Mastersizer 2000.

10% of the volume distribution (D10) was measured to bebelow 90 µm, 50% of the volume distribution (D50) below 277 µm and 90% of the volume distribution (D 90) below 508 µm.

In accordance with the CEN document, EN 481 as reference in the REACH Guidance Part R.7a on information requirements, 10% of the substance is within the inhalable fraction (< 100 µm).

The substance has a low propensity to become airborne (AmBr Section 8.5.2 - Acute inhalation Kieran (1998) Key) with a maximum attainable concentration of 0.1 mg/L.

The substance is considered to be not inhalable and has a low fugacity.
