Hello. I would like
to ask if someone kwows the minimum levels of exposure to BeO
and BeCu dust ?  I have accidentally (kind of) used BeCU
to make springs for an experiment, without ever knowing that
the dust of Be is also carcinogenic. Is it that there is
a minimum exposure level ?

Are the effects of Be chronic ? In other words do Be
atoms mutilate cells continuously in the human organism
or is there a decay in the action ? Can our body    
get rid of Be in some way ?


Thank you
