BERYLLIUM: AN UNRECOGNIZED OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE ISSUE
BY: JACQUELINE AMMAH
Friday Jun 14, 2002
Beryllium is valued for its strength, elasticity, lightness, and excellent thermal conductivity. Primarily used as an alloy, about a quarter of world production is in pure form; the rest is processed to form salts and oxides. Recognized as toxic in the early 1900s, with the discovery of pulmonary berylliosis, beryllium has since been associated with the development of other serious debilitating diseases.
