The rule reduces the PEL for beryllium to 0.2 micrograms per cubic meter of air (μg/ m3) averaged over 8 hours, and establishes a short-term exposure limit (STEL) for beryllium of 2.0 μg/m3 over a 15-minute sampling period. Employers must use engineering and work practice controls to prevent excessive beryllium from becoming airborne where ...

Abstract. Exposure to beryllium remains a significant occupational hazard, clinically resulting in berylliosis, or chronic beryllium disease (CBD). This scarring lung disease is an interstitial lung disease characterized by granulomatous inflammation that affects 2–10% of those exposed. Serving as a model for other granulomatous disease, …

Beryllium oxide is used to make ceramics for electronics and other electrical equipment because of its heat conductivity, high strength and hardness, and good electrical insulation. Metal slags and fly ash (a byproduct of coal-fired power plants) may also contain trace amounts of beryllium (considerably <0.1% by weight).
