Beryllium Carcinogenesis

  • Chapter
Book cover Inorganic and Nutritional Aspects of Cancer

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 91))

Abstract

With an atomic number of 4, beryllium is the lightest of all solid and chemically stable substances. Its present industrial uses are numerous, including fatigue-resistant alloys, heatresistant ceramics, electronic and nuclear reactor parts, rocketry and classified weaponry. All of these applications originated during the last 25 to 50 years, and the ubiquitousness of beryllium in our civilization is a relatively recent phenomenon.
