Results and discussion

Remarks on result:
not measured/tested
Remarks:
Based on the limited proportion of the test item determined to be in the inhalable particle size range (<100 µm), further evaluation of the test item by the cascade impactor method was not considered necessary or meaningful.

Key result
Remarks on result:
not measured/tested
Remarks:
Based on the limited proportion of the test item determined to be in the inhalable particle size range (<100 µm), further evaluation of the test item by the cascade impactor method was not considered necessary or meaningful.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Significantly greater than 50% of test item (by mass) must present an aerodynamic equivalent diameter of 10 µm or less in order to generate validmass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) and geometric standard deviation (GSD) datafor the thoracic and respirable fractions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The percentage of test item having an inhalable particle size of less than 100 µm was determined to be 7.47%.
