“…se reconoció por primera vez la utilidad del berilio en la fabricación aeroespacial y de armamento, siendo el mayor fabricante y exportador de berilio en el mercado mundial. Además del procesamiento primario de berilio, el uso secundario de aleaciones de berilio está generalizado en varias industrias a nivel mundial (5) . Un estudio estimó que en 2004 hasta 134000 trabajadores en sectores industriales públicos y privados estaban potencialmente expuestos al berilio en los EE.…”

“…The United States remains the largest manufacturer and exporter of beryllium to the global market (Table 1). [2][3][4][5] In addition to primary beryllium processing, secondary use of beryllium alloys is widespread across a number of industries globally (Table 2). 6 An older article estimated at least 134,000 current US workers are directly exposed to beryllium, although definitive numbers are unknown; others have estimated a much ABBREVIATIONS: APC = antigen-presenting cell; BeLPT = beryllium LPT; BeS = beryllium sensitization; CBD = chronic beryllium disease; CD = cluster of differentiation; E69 = glutamic acid residue at position 69; HLA = human leukocyte antigen; LPT = lymphocyte proliferation test; OSHA = Occupational Safety and Health Administration; PEL = permissible exposure limit higher number of workers directly exposed to beryllium.…”

“…The possibility of an occupational epidemic among its workers led the Atomic Energy Commission to develop the first regulations on allowable beryllium exposure in 1949. 2,4 These regulations set a maximum allowable beryllium exposure per shift for individual workers and peak exposure limits, as well as placing restrictions on allowable factory emissions and environmental exposures.…”
