Chronic beryllium poisoning.

Beryllium Poisoning Model for Research Reactors

Following paper presents current studies on beryllium block poisoning based on beryllium moderated research reactor MARIA. Description of the problem was given along with calculation and measurement methodology. At the moment the experimental campaign is still under development.

Introduction to the conference on beryllium-related diseases.

This issue of Environmental Health Perspectives Supplements includes papers presented at the Conference on Berylliumrelated Diseases held November 8-10, 1994, at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Beryllium is the lightest of all solid and chemically stable substances and is used in some form in the aerospace, nuclear, telecommunicat...

Chemical poisonings, new and old

Sporadic cases of chemical poisoning have occurred in Japan recently, and even though these cases are rare, this situation is not permissible. These cases involve not only newly identified types of poisoning, but also the reemer-gence of poisoning with known hazardous chemicals. Recent examples of known types of poisoning are lead poisoning, lung cancer caused by exposure to beryllium, and blad...

Beryllium Sensitization Progresses to Chronic Beryllium Disease

The blood beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test is used in medical surveillance to identify both beryllium sensitization and chronic beryllium disease. Approximately 50% of individuals with beryllium sensitization have chronic beryllium disease at the time of their initial clinical evaluation; however, the rate of progression from beryllium sensitization to chronic beryllium disease is unknow...
