Toxic effect: beryllium and its compounds - what does this mean
Beryllium and its compounds can cause a toxic effect when inhaled or ingested. this toxicity occurs when beryllium particles enter the body and accumulate in the lungs, liver, and bones. this can lead to a range of health issues, including berylliosis, a chronic lung disease, and beryllium sensitization, where an individual becomes allergic to beryllium.
What happens during the disease - toxic effect: beryllium and its compounds
