The signs and symptoms of acute beryllium pneumonitis usually resolve over several weeks to months, but may be fatal in 10 percent of cases, [1] and about 15–20% of cases may progress to chronic beryllium disease. [8] Acute beryllium poisoning approximately doubles the risk of lung cancer. [9]
Beryllium poisoning is poisoning by the toxic effects of beryllium, or more usually its compounds. It takes two forms: Acute beryllium poisoning, usually as a result of exposure to soluble beryllium salts; Chronic beryllium disease (CBD) or berylliosis, usually as a result of long-term exposure to beryllium oxide usually caused by inhalation.
The general population is unlikely to develop acute or chronic beryllium disease because ambient air levels of beryllium are normally very low (<0.03 ng/m 3). [39] However, a study found 1% of people living within 3/4 of a mile of a beryllium plant in Lorain, Ohio, had berylliosis after exposure to concentrations estimated to be less than 1 ...
Beryllium oxide (BeO), also known as beryllia, is an inorganic compound with the formula BeO. This colourless solid is an electrical insulator with a higher thermal conductivity than any other non-metal except diamond , and exceeds that of most metals. [ 12 ]
