Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
18 April 2008
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Guideline study, to GLP. Limited reporting detail.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Particle size distribution, fibre length and diameter distribution. June 1996 European Commission technical guidance document
Deviations:
not specified
Remarks:
Guideline not available for consultation and comparison. However, reporting detail is limited (e.g. missing information on purity)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
cascade impaction
Type of distribution:
mass based 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:
< 45 µm
Distribution:
96 %
No.:
#2
Size:
< 10 µm
Distribution:
13.4 %

The results indicate that approximately 13.4% of the particles were of a size which could be expected to achieve alveolar deposition in man, if inhaled. Approximately 96% of the particles were sufficiently small to reach at least the tracheo-bronchial region of the respiratory tract [although it should be noted that the sample was sieved prior to analysis, removing most of the particles > 45 um].

Conclusions:
In a guideline study, conducted to GLP, the particle size distribution of tetraamminepalladium(II) hydrogen carbonate was determined by mass difference following cascade impaction. 13.4% of the pre-sieved (< 45 um) particles had a size < 10 um, and could be expected to achieve alveolar deposition in man, if inhaled. Approximately 96% of the pre-sieved particles were sufficiently small to reach at least the tracheo-bronchial region of the respiratory tract.

Approximately 96% of the pre-sieved particles were sufficiently small (< 45 um) to reach at least the tracheo-bronchial region of the respiratory tract (Mulle and Bartlett, 1997).
