Beryllium can kill you. Beryllium was used in fluorescent lamps.
Tools made of beryllium copper alloys are Lightweight, strong, hard and do not create sparks when they strike a steel surface, that lead it to be applied in aerospace material for aircraft components, missiles, spacecraft, satellites, Electronics and Healthcare. The fourth element, the toxic beryllium metal has a taste of Sweet and Was called as glucine once. The relatively rare element in the universe is transparent to X-rays and is the 44th most abundant element in the earth’s crust. A survey found that, Before factories stopped to use beryllium compounds in the making of fluorescent lamps, almost 5 % of its workers suffered from beryllium-related lung disease until 1949. Recent developments to detect beryllium in air and on surfaces was successful, and the IDLH value for beryllium is 4 mg/m3. The two principal ores of beryllium, beryl, and bertrandite are found in Argentina, Brazil, India, Madagascar, Russia and the United States. The mineral beryl has been used at least since the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt but, The United States, China, and Kazakhstan are the only three countries involved in The highly tricky process of extraction of beryllium from its compounds in scale now. The world's production of beryllium had decreased over the years. Still, Almost 88% of it comes from the United States.
