What is the process for sampling and characterization of beryllium and how long does it take to get the results?
The Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program (CBDPP) requires us to look at the square footage of a building and to factor in that building’s likelihood of an historical beryllium presence. We then break the building into survey units, with a minimum of ten samples per unit, though typically, it’s closer to 20-30 samples. Standard turnaround time for results is about 2-4 weeks, but we are working with our labs to get the results more quickly.
