The Immunotox Labs division, which provides services in Immunogenicity and Immunotoxicity, Nanotoxicity and Ecotoxicology, Beryllium sensitivity testing and MELISA(R) testing for the detection of sensitization to more than 200 different allergens including metals, penicillin, gluten and pollens.

Polonium-210 played a key role in World War II. Manhattan Project engineers alloyed the isotope with beryllium and used it to produce the neutrons that triggered the atomic bomb’s chain reaction.

Polonium-210, the first radioactive element discovered by Marie Curie in 1897 occurs in nature as a byproduct of the decay of uranium. It decays with a half-life of 138 days by emitting alpha particles. It is 5000 times more radioactive than the dreaded radium and a billion times more radioactive than uranium- the nuclear fuel. It has a few industrial applications. In the early versions of nuclear weapons it was used as neutron trigger after mixing with beryllium.

Thru-hole mounting not only secures placement on PCBs, but also maintains positioning during wave soldering. Low contact resistant tension springs are incorporated, and overall product integrity is ensured by bases manufactured from UL 94 V-0 thermoplastic with gold-plated, beryllium

The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation plans to test the soil on the site of the Bennington state office building for PCBs, zinc and beryllium.

State-approved plume maps drawn by Lockheed Martin Corp., which is responsible for cleaning up the pollution traced back to a beryllium plant the company purchased, put Desenberg's property beyond the eastern edge of the known 200-acre plume.

The contamination originally was discovered in 2000 while Lockheed was preparing the former Loral American Beryllium Co. property for sale to WPI Inc. As owner of the facility when the contamination was found, Lockheed is responsible for the cleanup.

A cellphone can contain between 500 and 1 000 components. Many of these contain toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and beryllium, and hazardous chemicals such as brominated flame reerunants (BFRs).

In the study, York collected and collated data from 800 open-source incidents from 1992 to the present, along with the movement of dual-use items like beryllium and zirconium. He plotted the incidents on a global information system (GIS) software platform. He came up with a network of countries and routes between countries indicative of an illicit nuclear and radiological trafficking scheme.

In 2002, the MEK (aka NCRI), ‘exposed’ Iran’s undeclared nuclear activities. Of interest is the fact that more recently, in 2005, the same group declared that the “production of Beryllium and polonium-210 is being carried out[iv]” implicating Iran in nuclear bomb-making.

A solution all sides could live with regarding the Tallevast plume - not just a final clean-up plan everyone could agree would address the full extent of the toxic waste, but also investigations on how long-term exposure to underground toxins leaking from the former beryllium plant has affected residents' health as well as action steps to mitigate whatever problems resulted from that exposure.

Avalon Ventures owns the N.W.T.'s Thor Lake property, which contains beryllium, yttrium and gallium used in hybrid cars and electronics such as computers, cellphones and televisions
