Beryllium
In 2017, OSHA proposed a new rule for Beryllium Exposure. The key provisions of the proposed OSHA Standard for Beryllium Exposure are: a Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 0.2 ug/m3 averaged over an 8-hour Shift. a Short-Term Exposure Limit (STEL) of 2.0 ug/m3 for a 15 minute sampling period. an Action Level of 0.1 ug/m3.

Beryllium | NIOSH | CDC
Beryllium is a naturally occurring metal found in several minerals. It is most commonly extracted from beryl and bertrandite ores. Beryllium and beryllium-containing alloys and compounds have been produced commercially in the US since the 1940s. Production of beryllium oxide began in the late 1950s. Four NIOSH Divisions have beryllium-related ...

Beryllium Sensitization: Diagnosis
Beryllium sensitization is diagnosed with a blood test called the beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test (BeLPT). The BeLPT is a test that helps determine if your immune system reacts to beryllium as a foreign substance — this reaction leads to abnormal BeLPT results.

BeLPT Testing Process
Blood Cells are Tested to See if They React to Beryllium. White blood cells (immune cells) are separated from the red blood cells using a multi-step process. It takes up to 14 days to complete the process, as cells need time to grow before they are analyzed. Cells that grow rapidly during the process are "allergic" or sensitized to beryllium.
