铍工人赔偿

原子能和国防工业的工作人员可能会接触铍，这是一种具有毒性作用的强轻金属。其他有接触铍风险的工人包括太空、航空、计算机和电子领域的工人。使用含铍材料的磨床、机械师、热压机操作员和焊工吸入铍粉尘的风险很高。即使是制作由铍镍合金制成的牙冠和牙桥的牙科实验室技术人员也可能会接触到这种元素。

Workers may become allergic to beryllium (a process known as “beryllium sensitization”), and eventually develop chronic beryllium disease or berylliosis, a painful scarring of the lungs. Detection methods for beryllium allergy include x–rays and blood tests (see Beryllium Disease: Detection). Chronic beryllium disease or berylliosis can be treated, but not cured. Although steroids are the main treatment for berylliosis, they do have side–effects such as weight gain, thinning of the bones, and a weakened immune system.

For more information about beryllium–related diseases, beryllium compounds, and how beryllium exposure occurs in the workplace, see our web site, Beryllium Network. We have created this web site as a service to beryllium victims and their families. Besides containing details about beryllium diseases and exposure, it includes lists of medical centers and beryllium support groups, news about beryllium, and a glossary of beryllium medical terms.
