Standard Test Method for Determination of Particles Resulting from the Attrition of Granular Pesticides

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is designed specifically for granular pesticide formulations.

5.2 This test method helps provide information on health hazards likely to arise from exposures by the inhalation route. It can be of use in selecting dose levels for chronic studies and for establishing safety criteria for human exposure.

5.3 The amount of fines determined by this method is a measure of potential inhalation and respiration toxicity because the hazards of inhaled solid substances are influenced by physical factors such as particle size.
