Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The dusting behaviour of the test material was investigated using DIN EN 17199-3:2019-12 "workplace exposure - measurement of dustiness of bulk materials that contain or release respirable nano objects and their aggregates and agglomerates or other respirable particles- Part 3: Continuous drop method".


The dust released by the falling test material was measured by a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS, 10 - 417 nm) and an optical particle sizer (3 - 10 µm). The counterflow was provided by clean, almost particle-free air.


The SMPS counted 10433 particles in the nanoscale (10 - 100 nm) per cm³, corresponding to a dustiness index of 60434043 particles in the nanoscale (10 - 100 nm) per mg. The particle number in the whole SMPS size range (10-417 nm) was 24595 per cm³, corresponding to a dustiness index of 142465106 particles/mg (size 10 - 417 nm).


The mean size of the nanoparticles was 74.8 nm, the mean size of particles in the range 10 - 417 nm was 160.0.


The OPS (0.3 - 10 µm) counted 123.0 particles per cm³ corresponding to a dustiness index of 712444 particles per mg. The mean size of the particles was 5.6 µm.
