CDC - Beryllium Processors (Beryllium) - NIOSH Study Summary
Apr 11, 2017 · The main purpose of the workplace study was to see if exposure to beryllium is associated with lung cancer. Since inhaling some beryllium compounds caused lung cancer in rats, and may cause it in monkeys, there was concern that it might cause lung cancer in people. Beryllium is already known to cause chronic beryllium disease, a lung disease.
ORISE: Beryllium Testing & Exposure Studies
The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) manages a comprehensive beryllium exposure studies and testing program for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to assess the health effects to employees who have been exposed to airborne beryllium and other occupational hazards.
