Conclusions:

Executive summary:

This study was designed to determine the particle size distribution of the test substance in accordance with OECD Guideline 110. The particle size distribution was between 0.739 and 419.0 µm equivalent spherical diameter, with 0.05% by volume less than or equal to 2.039 µm, 8.66% greater than or equal to 199.3 µm, and 91.29% between 2.039 and 199.3 µm. Assuming a normal distribution, spherical particles, and unit density, the calculated mass median aerodynamic diameter would be approximately 95 µm, and the calculated percentage less than 10 µm aerodynamic diameter would be approximately 1%.
