| berylliosis |
Berylliosis is a chronic lung disease caused by prolonged exposure to beryllium, a chemical irritant to the lungs. With prolonged exposure, the lungs become hypersensitive to it causing the development of small inflammatory nodules, called granulomas. Granulomas are seen in other chronic diseases, such as tuberculosis and sarcoidosis, and it can occasionally be hard to distinguish berylliosis from these disorders. ...

Year discovered: 1798 Atomic No.: 4 Symbol: Be Atomic weight: 9.0122 Melting point: 1,278?C Beryllium, which is derived from beryl, bertrandite and phenakite ores, exhibits both metallic and nonmetallic physical and mechanical properties. This gray in color, brittle metal is one of the lightest structural materials known. Still, it has a specific stiffness six times that of 1010 steel. Beryllium is also an excellent electrical and thermal conductor. ...
