Under magnification, the sample was observed to be made up of single crystalline particles. The smallest individual particle size was approximately 3 μm and the largest individual size was approximately 58 μm.

Conclusions:
The particle size mass media aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) was determined to be 18.321 µM and the volume of sample with particles < 10 µm was 28.4%.

Description of key information

The particle size mass media aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) was determined to be 18.321 µM and the volume of sample with particles < 10 µm was 28.4%. These values were determined using a laser diffraction particle size analyser and in accordance with ISO 13320:2009.
