WHAT'S NEW

The American Conference
of Governmental Industrial Hygienists® (ACGIH)
Board of Directors voted to adopt a new TLV-TWA
for beryllium of 0.05 µg/m3 (2009 TLVs®
and BEIs®, American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists, Cincinnati, OH). This action
by ACGIH has no direct regulatory impact on Department
of Energy (DOE) requirements for beryllium health
and safety. However, DOE contractors may wish
to review their contracts and DOE-approved chronic
beryllium disease prevention program (CBDPP),
or worker safety and health program (WSHP), to
evaluate their commitments with respect to the
“latest version” of the ACGIH TLVs.

NIST issues Beryllium
Oxide Reference Material. The National Institute
of Standards & Technology (NIST) issued Standard
Reference Material® (SRM) 1877 Beryllium Oxide
Powder in June, 2008. Laboratories now can evaluate
the completeness of their dissolution of beryllium
oxide using SRM 1877. This project was possible
through a multi-agency and private sector effort
that included cooperation and coordination between
DOE, DOE Contractors, NIST, NIOSH, and Brush Wellman,
Inc. SRM 1877 can be purchased at: https://srmors.nist.gov/view_detail.cfm?srm=1877
