Abstract
The study was specifically aimed to obtain concentration of beryllium in various environmental matrices such as air, water and soil in the v icinity of the Beryllium Metal Plant situated at Turbhe, New Bombay. T wo analytical techniques - Morin fluorescence method and Atomic Absorp tion Spectrophotometry using graphite furnace were standardised for be ryllium estimation. The beryllium concentration in the natural matrice s studied - air, water and soil were in the range of 0.41-0.43 ng m(-3 ), 0.01-0.02 ng mL(-1) and 325-767 ng g(-1) respectively.
