The test item consisted of spherical, dark violet, and slightly transparent particles. The particle size distribution showed a polymodal distribution with a small shoulder at approx. 1 µm. The maximum was observed at approximately 30 µm.

For spherical, non-porous particles of unit density D50 is the same as the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD).

Conclusions:
The median particle size D50, i.e. MMAD, of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 31.8 µm.
Executive summary:

The median particle size D50, i.e. MMAD, of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 31.8 µm.

The particle size D10 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 7.6 µm.

The particle size D90 of the test item deduced from the particle size distributions was 102.4 µm.
