Discussion
Sampling for the cascade impactor determinations was performed by rolling the test item container for approximately15minutes, andthen samplingfrom the top, middle and bottom.
Too few particles were of a size less than 10.0 µm to allow accurate assessment of the mass median aerodynamic diameter.
The inhalable fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles which can be inhaled by nose or mouth, the thoracic fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles that passes the larynx and the respirable fraction is defined as the mass fraction of particles that reaches the alveoli.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Particle size data acquired for the test item is shown in the following:
Percentage of test item with an inhalable particle size <100 µm (Sieve) = 79.6%
Percentage of test item with a thoracic particle size <10.0 µm (Cascade Impactor) = 1.29%
Percentage of test item with a respirable particle size <5.5 µm (Cascade Impactor) = 0.33%
