Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2 July 2010
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with national standard methods
Remarks:
.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Laser particle sizer Malvern with unit dry Scirocco 2000
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
Laser scattering/diffraction
Type of distribution:
counted distribution
Percentile:
D50
Remarks on result:
other: Migrated from fields under 'Mass median diameter' as D50 percentile. No source field for Standard deviation.
No.:
#1
Size:
< 104 µm
Distribution:
53.71 %
Conclusions:
53.71% of particles were found to be < 104.7 µm in diameter and as such the particle size distribution indicates tripotassium orthophosphate is an inhalation risk (a significant proportion of the particles are present at < 100 µm).

This study is considered to be acceptable for use as a key study under Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH).

Description of key information

One key study is available.  This study is conducted according to an appropriate method and therefore the study is considered to be acceptable and to adequately satisfy the regulatory requirement as a key study for this endpoint.

Additional information

53.71% of particles were found to be < 104.7 µm in diameter and as such the particle size distribution indicates tripotassium orthophosphate is an inhalation risk (a significant proportion of the particles are present at < 100 µm).
