OSTI ID:6323949

The ATSDR Toxicological Profile for Beryllium is intended to characterize succinctly the toxicological and health-effects information for the substance. It identifies and reviews the key literature. More comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The profile begins with a public-health statement, which describes in nontechnical language the substance's relevant toxicological properties. Following the statement is material that presents levels of significant human exposure and, where known, significant health effects. The adequacy of information to determine the substance's health effects is described. Research gaps in toxicologic and health effects information are described. Research gaps that are of significance to the protection of public health will be identified in a separate effort. The focus of the document is on health and toxicological information.
