(a) less than about 5% of the droplets in the plume having a size of less than about 10 μm, (b) a D10 of greater than about 12.5 μm, wherein about 10% of the droplets in the plume have a size less than the D10, (c) a D50 of from about 30 to about 70 μm, wherein about 50% of the droplets in the plume have a size less than the D50, (d) a D90 of less than about 200 μm, wherein about 90% of the droplets in the plume have a size less than the D90, or (e) a span of from about 1 to about 6, wherein the span is calculated according to: (D90−D10)/D50. |
