Beryllium Toxicity: Who Is at Risk of Exposure to Beryllium
Beryllium sensitization (BeS) is found in 1% – 16% of exposed workers tested with the blood Beryllium Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (Saltini et al. 2001; Henneberger et al. 2001).Individuals may have BeS without disease, which is not associated with any symptoms or clinical abnormalities in pulmonary function tests or chest radiography.
