Beryllium Research Symposium: Basic Mechanisms and Human Health June 25- 26, 2002 National Library of Medicine , Bethesda, MD Contents Introduction Welcome Agenda ... Attendees Sponsored by Office of Biological and Environmental Research The Department of Energy in cooperation with The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and The National Jewish Medical and Research Center Session 1. Immunopathology of Beryllium-Induced Granulomatous Disease Characterization of Beryllium-Specific Memory CD4+ T Cells in Patients with Chronic Beryllium Disease Andrew P. Fontenot , Scott J. Canavera, Laia Gharavi, Lee S. Newman, and Brian L. Kotzin University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and National Jewish Medical and Research Center, Denver, CO 80262 andrew.fontenot@uchsc.edu Evidence suggest that CD4+ T cells play a critical role in the development of chronic beryllium disease (CBD). Using intracellular cytokine staining, we found that the frequency of beryllium-specific CD4+ T cells in the lungs of 10 CBD patients ranged from 1.4-29% (mean 18.8%), and these T cells expressed a Th1-type phenotype in response to beryllium sulfate (BeSO ). Few, if any, beryllium-specific CD8+ T cells were identified. In contrast, the frequency of beryllium-responsive CD4+ T cells in the blood of these subjects ranged from undetectable to 1 in 500. No correlation was observed between the frequency of beryllium-responsive BAL CD4+ T cells detected with intracellular cytokine staining and lymphocyte proliferation in culture after BeSO

64. Policy Analysis And Clinical Research On Occupational Beryllium Exposure At DOE Investigating Chronic beryllium disease prevalence among former Chronic beryllium disease (CBD) involves the ongoing stimulation of the immune system http://www.cresp.org/dcwrkshp/posters/be/be.html

Consortium for Risk Evaluation with Stakeholder Participation Policy Analysis and Clinical Research on Occupational Beryllium Exposure at DOE Sites R A Ponce T K Takaro S M Bartell A J Jabbour K Ertell J Abbotts S Barnhart and E M Faustman Worker Safety and CRESP and School of Public Health and Community Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, WA This research supported in part by CRESP through the Department of Energy Cooperative Agreement #DE-FC01-95EW55084. This support does not constitute endorsement of views expressed. Introduction The US Department of Energy has used beryllium in nuclear materials production, reactor rod fabrication, nuclear vessel cladding and many other uses since the 1940s. The industrial use of beryllium was found to result in an acute respiratory disease, acute beryllium disease, leading the Atomic Energy Commission to establish an airborne concentration standard of 2 µg/m3 for the workplace based on then accepted standards for other metals. Adoption of this standard has effectively eliminated the presence of acute beryllium disease. However, epidemiologic studies carried out during the 1980-90s has revealed the presence of another form of lung disease, chronic beryllium disease (CBD), among workers at US DOE sites. In 1997, the Consortium for Risk Evaluation with Stakeholder Participation (CRESP) began a series of research efforts to investigate the prevalence of CBD among former beryllium workers at Hanford, evaluation of alternatives to the current screening tools for identifying pre-clinical disease, and policy implications of alternative occupational health program designs to reduce disease incidence among future beryllium workers, such as those involved in decontamination and decommissioning former beryllium facilities.

At the time, there were no safety standards for working in a beryllium plant and many people may have been directly or indirectly exposed to it. Even wives washing uniforms may have come into contact. Beryllium is a carcinogen. Symptoms of beryllium poisoning may not become evident for 40 years, beryllium sensitivity and chronic beryllium disease include shortness of breath, sudden weight loss, tiredness, skin problems and night sweats. Treatment can be effective if the disease is diagnosed early enough. URL: http://www.bradenton.com/mld/bradenton/news/local/10119651.htm

News and Information Services News Release Back to Newsroom Friday August 30, 2002 Seminar at WVU to focus on Chronic Beryllium Disease CONTACT: Ainsley Weston , NIOSH CDC, 304-285-6221 A toxicologist from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will speak on "Genetic Factors in Chronic Beryllium Disease" at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3, in Room 2001 of the Agricultural Sciences Building, Evansdale Campus. Ainsely Weston will give the next presentation in a seminar series organized by West Virginia University’s interdisciplinary program in Genetics and Developmental Biology. A strong, lightweight, alkaline earth element with a high melting point, beryllium has been used most successfully in components of nuclear reactors‚ nuclear weapons, aircraft and spacecraft. Beryllium compounds are used in ceramics for electronics, in dental bridges and in some sports equipment. Exposure to beryllium in the workplace may lead to various diseases including chronic beryllium disease, which causes a painful scarring of the lung tissue. Workers in certain occupations and industries are most likely to develop the disease. However‚ even a family member can develop chronic beryllium disease from exposure to dust on the worker’s clothing‚ hair or body.

Seventh St. Suite 206 Los Angeles, CA 90017 Phone: (213) 689-3278 Fax: (213) 689-4309 Chronic Beryllium Disease is an incurable lung disease caused by the inhalation of beryllium dust and fumes. Some of the symptoms of Chronic Beryllium Disease are cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite, fever, and night sweats. The use of steroids is the primary way to control the progression of this disease. Supplemental oxygen may be needed for some individuals. A lung transplant may be the last alternative for some. There is a special test, that can be done to see if you are sensitized to beryllium. This test is called a beryllium lymphocyte proliferation transformation test. It is typically a blood test, but it can also be done through a lung washing. X-rays may be helpful to see if there is any scarring of the lungs caused by the inhalation of beryllium dust or fumes. A special type of scarring of the lungs called granuloma may be found in lung biopsy tissue. Pulmonary function tests can show if there are abnormalities in the breathing functions of the lungs. Sometimes beryllium disease is misdiagnosed as sarcoidosis, but a lymphocyte transformation test and a history of exposure to beryllium can differentiate these diseases.

Resources for dental professionals: Beryllium in the dental industry You don’t have to be a beryllium worker to get beryllium disease. Anybody exposed to beryllium dust or fumes can get it. Some contract workers at beryllium plants, automotive manufacture workers and dental lab technicians have developed beryllium disease. All dental professionals exposed to beryllium dust or fumes, especially lab technicians, can get this disease. The best way to eliminate the risk is to stop using beryllium. The following resources may help you decide whether you or your staff are in danger of beryllium disease. What is the problem? " Ban beryllium in dentistry ," Amy Ryder, Feb 21, 2001.
