LOL - I guessed Beryllium thread right as you posted it in the 10pm thread.
![]() I love this place sometimes. Oh, and yahoo search of Beryllium still does not bring up the is thread in anyway. That is unfortunate, because I know Simplex3 did a lot of work to try and get it to show up on Search engines like Yahoo.com and google.com beryllium.google.yahoo.com |

The name beryllium comes from the Greek word 'beryllos' that describes the industrially important stone beryl. Emerald is a precious form of beryllium mineral containing traces of chromium that add a green hue to the stone. Alloys of beryllium with copper and nickel have excellent electrical and thermal conductivities. For this reason, these alloys are used for fabricating aircrafts, missiles, spacecraft and communication satellites. (reference)

When inhaled as a particulate, some beryllium compounds can lead to an irreversible and sometimes fatal scarring of the lungs known as berylliosis or chronic beryllium disease (CBD). It is probably an allergic reaction, in which 2-5% of people exposed are more susceptible than others; but sensitivity can increase with exposure. There is currently no widely available test to find out who is sensitive to beryllium before exposure occurs. Even small amounts of beryllium particles of respirable size may trigger sensitivity, and CBD can take from a few months to 30 years to develop (average latency period of 10 to 15 years), even for those with only minor incidental exposure to beryllium dust. Not all forms of beryllium are equally toxic.

rimarily a lung disease, CBD may also affect other organs, such as the lymph nodes, skin, spleen, liver, kidneys, and heart. Short-term beryllium exposure may lead to inflammation, reddening or swelling of the lungs, a condition known as Acute Beryllium Disease. If beryllium enters cuts in the skin, non-cancerous ulcerating growths may form. Symptoms of CBD may include the following:
Persistent coughing Shortness of breath with physical exertion Fatigue Chest and joint pain Blood in the sputum (sputum is saliva, mucus, and other discharges that can be "coughed up" from the respiratory system) Rapid heart rate Loss of appetite or anorexia Weight loss Fevers and night sweats Right side heart enlargement |
