Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The proportion of test material having an inhalable particle size less than 100 µm was determined to be 6.09 % and considered to be essentially non-inhalable.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the substance has been assessed using a sieve method in compliance with that given in "Particle Size Distribution, Fibre Length and Diameter Distribution", June 1996 European Commission technical guidance document, which satisfies the requirements of OECD Guideline 110. The proportion of test material having an inhalable particle size less than 100µm was determined to be 6.09 % and the substance is therefore considered to be essentially non-inhalable.
