Description of key information

Potassium bromide is a hygroscopic inorganic solid. The substance has to maintained at elevated temperatures in a dry environment to maintain the pwdered form. Introduction to atmospheric moisture causes clumping and hydration of the substance. It is therefore not technically feasible to perform standard granulometry studies on the substance. Furthermore, the hygroscopic nature of the substance means it is unlikely to form dusts or inhalable aerosols.
