Beryllium; sampling and analysis.9780803134997 Beryllium beryllium (bərĭl`ēəm) [from beryl ], metallic chemical element; symbol Be; at. no. 4; at. wt. 9.01218; m.p. about 1,278°C;; b.p. 2,970°C; (estimated); sp. gr. 1.85 at 20°C;; valence +2. ; sampling and analysis. Symposium on Beryllium Sampling and Analysis (2005: Reno, NV) Ed. by Kevin Ashley. ASTM International ASTM International (ASTM) is an international standards developing organization that develops and publishes voluntary technical standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems, and services. 2006 109 pages $55.00 Paperback STP STP or standard temperature and pressure, standard conditions for measurement of the properties of matter. The standard temperature is the freezing point of pure water, 0°C; or 273.15°K;. ; 1473 QD181 Occupational exposure to beryllium in the workplace can cause a lung disease lung disease Pulmonary disease Pulmonology Any condition causing or indicating impaired lung function Types of LD Obstructive lung disease–↓ in air flow caused by a narrowing or blockage of airways–eg, asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis; that may be fatal, and new exposure limits for the element in air and on surfaces have been established in order to reduce the exposure of workers. In light of this, nine papers discuss such technical aspects of sampling in workplace atmospheres and on surfaces, preparing samples in various matrices, analytical methods for measuring beryllium, proficiency testing, on-site monitoring, and opportunities for standardizing sampling and analysis methods.
