Applies to limits of 0.2 ug/100 cm2 for release to general public and 3 ug/100 cm2 for release to other beryllium facilities (10 CFR 850.31). Application to all other situations is implied.

    4. Real Driver for Surface Sampling Prevent beryllium exposure and contamination spread to workers, the community, and the environment !
