41. Beryllium Safety: Acute Beryllium Disease
    Acute beryllium disease. Generally, acute beryllium disease is a result of shortterm,high-level exposure and the symptoms appear within a few days or weeks.  
    http://www-training.llnl.gov/wbt/hc/HS4258/Be09.html
    
    Extractions: Between 1930-1950, it was discovered that workers who breathed air that had very high concentrations of soluble beryllium salts could develop a type of chemical pneumonia called acute beryllium disease. Its symptoms included coughing, burning and pain in the chest, and shortness of breath. Recovery could take a week to six months, with occasional recurrence of symptoms. Generally, acute beryllium disease is a result of short-term, high-level exposure and the symptoms appear within a few days or weeks. It is very unlikely that anyone working in beryllium operations today will be exposed to concentrations high enough to cause acute beryllium disease, as engineering controls and work practices are much improved. This has not been an issue at LLNL.

    Extractions: Beryllium is a naturally occurring metal within the environment. This metal has many characteristics that make it optimal for industrial use. Some of these characteristics include that is it lightweight, hard, a good electrical conductor, a good thermal conductor, and it is non-magnetic. There are many industries that currently use beryllium or have used beryllium in the past; these industries include: metal-working (jet brake pads and aerospace components), ceramic manufacturing (jet engine blades and rocket covers), electronics (X-ray windows), atomic energy industry (nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons), laboratory work (chemistry), extraction (ore and scrap metal), and dental work (alloys in crowns, bridges, and dental plates). As can be seen by the many industries that may use beryllium, there are many people who may be risk of exposure. This high risk of exposure is a public health concern. What is Beryllium Disease?

    Extractions: For more information call 1-800-355-3300 Q. What is beryllium A. Beryllium is a brittle, steel-grey metal found as a component of coal, oil, certain rock minerals, volcanic dust, and soil. Elemental beryllium (atomic #4) is the second lightest of all metals and is used in a wide variety of applications. In its elemental form beryllium exhibits the unique properties of being lightweight and extremely stiff, giving the metal several applications in the aerospace, nuclear, and manufacturing industries. Exposure to beryllium most often occurs in mining, extraction, and in the processing of alloy metals containing beryllium. Q. What is beryllium disease? A. Beryllium disease is caused by the inhalation of beryllium particles, dust or fumes. Its symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, fatigue, weight loss or loss of appetite, fever and sweating. Medical tests may reveal abnormal lung sounds, lung scars, decreased pulmonary function, granulomas (a nodular form of chronic inflammation) and an allergy to beryllium. The chronic form of the disease, Chronic Beryllium Disease ("CBD") is caused by an allergic reaction to beryllium.

    Extractions: Security Notice Beryllium Health Hazards: Chronic Beryllium Disease Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD) occurs in individuals who have become allergic or sensitized to beryllium upon exposure. This means these individuals have white blood cells in the blood or lungs that react to beryllium. This reaction can cause the lungs to become inflamed and develop scar tissue which can hinder the transfer of oxygen when breathing. Although current DOE medical surveillance programs are identifying more people who are only sensitized and not sick with CBD, some individuals already have CBD by the time they are evaluated for beryllium sensitization or lung symptoms. CBD Can Take Many Years To Develop The average time from first beryllium exposure to the development of symptoms (latency period) of CBD is 10 to 15 years. This means you can be exposed to beryllium today and not suffer any health effects for decades. Health effects have appeared in some people a few months after exposure, but as long as 30 years later in others. Doctors and researchers believe that some individuals who have had CBD lived with the disease and died from other causes without even knowing they had CBD. At this time there is no way to determine who is susceptible to beryllium prior to exposure. DOE and the Berkeley Lab assume that all workers may be susceptible, and have implemented controls to protect us all.

Given the lack of scientific data needed in order to provide a basis for determining a new exposure limit along with evidence that cases of Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD) have occurred at relatively low exposure levels, it would be prudent to provide respiratory protection below the permissible exposure limit (PEL). Requiring respirators at the action level would also by definition require their use in regulated areas, a requirement in most of OSHA's substance-specific health standards. Free-Release Levels, Page 66948 . These limits need to be established to ensure consistency across the sites in transfer or release of beryllium or beryllium-containing materials.

    Extractions: Get Recognition By Jon L. Gelman “The Cold War Compensation Act” is the first federal workers’ compensation program to be implemented in the last twenty years. The benefit program that will be offered to beryllium workers amounts to a federal bailout of a monopolistic private industry that has hidden behind the cloak of national security and has endangered the lives of workers, their household contacts and innocent bystanders. Beryllium is a rare, lightweight metal that was discovered in 1798. It is the 32nd most abundant element and makes up approximately 0.005 percent of the earth’s crust. Most of the world’s beryllium is mined in African and South American countries. The United States is the world’s largest consumer. The metal is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum and has been a critical component of the U.S. nuclear arsenal since the dawn of the atomic age. It is also used in products which range from sporting goods to dental alloys.

    Extractions: Beryllium - What is it? Beryllium Is a Silver-Gray Metallic Element That Occurs Naturally in About 30 Minerals Beryllium was discovered in 1798, but it was not widely used in industry until the 1940s and 1950s. In industrial applications beryllium can be: used as pure metal mixed with other metals to form alloys processed to salts that dissolve in water processed to form oxides and ceramic materials Beryllium metal has been produced for various industrial uses since the late 1950s. Both structural and instrument grade materials are manufactured, especially for use in aerospace and defense: Windshield frames and other structures in high-speed aircraft and space vehicles Aircraft and space shuttle brakes Satellite mirrors and space telescopes Inertial guidance systems and gyroscopes Neutron moderator or reflector in nuclear reactors X-ray windows Nuclear weapons components Beryllium Oxide (BeO) Is Used To Make Ceramics for Electronics, Electrical, and Other Equipment BeO contributes hardness, strength, excellent heat conductivity, and good electrical insulation. In closely packed circuitry (like that in the electronic ignition systems of automobiles), beryllium ceramic layers can draw heat away from other circuit components. Because BeO is transparent to microwaves, it has also been used in microwave ovens.
