      SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry

      is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact

      lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including

      the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure,

      the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses.

      However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive

      properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to

      the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In

LABORATORY METHODS:

CLINICAL LABORATORY METHODS:

      The determination of beryllium in urine samples by graphite furnace AA

      spectrophotometry was presented. Urine samples from a total of 100

      occupationally exposed and control subjects were acid digested. The

      solubilized beryllium was complexed with acetylacetone, extracted into

      acetone at pH 8.5, then back extracted in 2% nitric acid. This solvent

      extraction step eliminated the sample matrix background correction

      problem. Initial analyses of the resulting samples by AA gave a beryllium

      concn range of 0.03 to 0.37 ng/mL. A calibration curve linear to 5.0 ng/mL

      beryllium was derived from beryllium spiked samples. Regression analysis

      gave a calculated slope and intercept of 0.998 and 0.003, respectively,

      with a correlation coefficient of 0.967. The min detection limit was 0.03

      ng/mL at 99% confidence level. While 90% of the samples were found to

      contain beryllium above the limit of detection, the beryllium in 60% of

      the control samples was close to the min detection limit. The levels of

      beryllium obtained in this study were comparable with the literature

      values. The authors conclude that the observed range of beryllium levels

      was too low to be assoc with toxicological effects. [Thorat DD et al;

      A direct graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy method for the

      analysis of beryllium in drinking water has been derived from a method for

      determining beryllium in urine. Ammonium phosphomolybdate and ascorbic

      acid were employed as matrix modifiers. The matrix modifiers successfully

      eliminated common chemical interferences in water samples analyzed for

      beryllium content, as well as interferences encountered during jar testing

      of beryllium removal by alum coagulation. The method proved to be a

      simple, accurate, and precise alternative to the method of standard

      additions. Method detection limit was 0.03 ug/L, with a linear calibration

      range of 0-6 ug/L. [Lytle DA et al; Am Water Works Assoc J 85 (2): 77-83

      A rapid and simple preconcentration method by selective absorption using

      activated carbon as an adsorbent and acetylacetone as a complexing agent

      is described for the determination of a trace amount of beryllium by

      graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The

      beryllium-acetylacetonate complex is adsorbed easily onto activated carbon

      at pH 8-10. The activated carbon which adsorbed the

      beryllium-acetylacetonate complex was separated and dispersed in pure

      water. The resulting suspension was introduced directly into the graphite

      furnace atomizer. The determination limit was 0.6 ng/L (S/N=3), and the

      relative standard deviation at 0.25 ug/L was 3.0-4.0% (n=6). Not only was

      there no interference from the major ions such as Na(I), K(I), Mg(II),

      Ca(II), Cl-, and S042- in seawater but there was also no interference from

      other minor ions. The proposed method was applied to the determination of

      ng per mL levels of beryllium in seawater and rainwater. [Okutani T et al;
