摘要

The most frequent community health-related concerns and comments voiced by the community were: off-site migration of beryllium on clothes (so-called worker-take-home), beryllium exposure from air emissions, requests for blood testing with the blood Beryllium Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (BeLPT) for the community, the quality of private well water in residences located near the plant requests for independent air and wipe sampling, and hygiene, housekeeping, and safety at other area companies that work with beryllium-containing materials. These issues are addressed in the main body of this health consultation. Additional community comments and ATSDRs responses are contained in Appendix B. In preparation of this health consultation, ATSDR reviewed the following: results of well water sampling collected and analyzed by OEPA, results of air monitoring performed by Brush Wellman, incident reports from OEPA, correspondence between Brush Wellman and OEPA, wipe sampling information provided by the Ohio Citizen Action, and Brush Wellman policies and procedures.
