Since 1998, NIOSH and Brush Wellman Inc., the largest US producer of beryllium
and beryllium products, have collaborated on research focused on beryllium and its
associated health effects. This research program comprises medical surveillance
of current Brush Wellman workers, and studies of airborne and dermal beryllium
exposure. In addition to the collaborative work, NIOSH has a complementary but
independent research program focused upon understanding genetic factors associated
with beryllium sensitization and disease, as well as medical surveillance of some
former Brush Wellman workers.
These newsletters are designed to provide information on completed studies, current
research findings, and future activities to the participants in our beryllium research.
