[QUOTE="Tayebdental, post: 125151, member: 9868"] [SIZE=5][B]How Can Beryllium Affect Your Health?[/B][/SIZE] Exposure to beryllium can affect the lungs and/or skin. However, not everyone will develop health effects from beryllium exposure. People who work closely with beryllium as part of their employment have the greatest risk of developing health effects from beryllium. However, people who have had only infrequent exposure to beryllium may still develop health effects. Some individuals develop health effects shortly after exposure, while others may develop health effects many years after exposure has stopped. Once a person has been exposed to beryllium, they have a lifelong risk of developing disease even if exposure stops. Beryllium usually affects the respiratory system, although it can affect other parts of the body as well. Listed below are different types of illnesses or health effects associated with beryllium. Health EffectDescriptionSymptoms Beryllium sensitization The body develops hypersensitivity to beryllium. No symptoms, but the body identifies beryllium as foreign. Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD) A chronic scarring lung disorder where scarring prevents oxygen from moving freely from the lungs to the blood. Usually: [LIST] [*]cough, [*]shortness of breath, [*]chest pains, [*]night sweats, and [*]fatigue. [/LIST] Sometimes: [LIST] [*]difficulty breathing [/LIST] Lung Cancer Lung cancer is rare. If it occurs it is the same type of cancer caused by smoking and other cancer risk factors. Usually: None (until late stage). Sometimes: [LIST] [*]bloody sputum, [*]weight loss, [*]cough, [*]wheezing, and [*]difficulty breathing. [/LIST] Acute Beryllium Disease A pneumonia-like illness that follows exposure to high levels (50-100 micrograms/cubic meter) of beryllium. Uncommon in modern industry. Usually: [LIST] [*]pneumonia, and/or [*]chest pain. [/LIST] Sometimes: [LIST] [*]cough, [*]chest pain, and [*]difficulty breathing. [/LIST] Skin Diseases Allergic reaction/dermatitis. Small, red, raised bumps. Rash. [/QUOTE]
