Beryllium Metal II. A Review of the Available Toxicity Data
Beryllium metal was classified in Europe collectively with beryllium compounds, e.g. soluble salts. Toxicological equivalence was assumed despite greatly differing physicochemical properties. Following introduction of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation, beryllium metal was classified as individual substance and more investigational effort...
متن کاملComment on Strupp papers on beryllium metal toxicity.
I read with great interest the research articles by Strupp (2011a,b) ‘Beryllium Metal I’ and ‘Beryllium Metal II’ which were funded by the REACH Beryllium Consortium (2008), an industry group led by Brush Wellman Inc., the largest producer of beryllium in North America. I would like to comment on the author’s conclusion that beryllium metal is not a skin sensitizer and to caution readers on the...

متن کاملRelease of metal impurities from carbon nanomaterials influences aquatic toxicity.
Few studies have considered the environmental impacts of impurities and byproducts associated with low-efficiency nanomanufacturing processes. Here, we study the composition and aquatic toxicity of low-purity, as-produced fullerenes (C60) and metallofullerene waste solids, both of which were generated via arc-discharge synthesis. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectro...
متن کاملRocky Flats Beryllium Health Surveillance.
The Rocky Flats Beryllium Health Surveillance Program (BHSP), initiated in June 1991, was designed to provide medical surveillance for current and former employees exposed to beryllium. The BHSP identifies individuals who have developed beryllium sensitivity using the beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test (BeLPT). A detailed medical evaluation to determine the prevalence of chronic beryllium ...
