- Beryllium - People working or living near beryllium industries have the greatest potential for exposure to beryllium. Lung damage has been observed in people exposed to high levels of beryllium in the air. About 1-15% of all people occupationally-exposed to beryllium in air become sensitive to beryllium and may develop chronic beryllium disease.
- Natural History of Beryllium Sensitization and Chronic Beryllium Disease - A medical article about the early detection of beryllium sensitization and chronic beryllium disease. Includes recent studies
- Significance of the Blood Beryllium Lymphocyte Proliferation Test - Abstract: An in vitro measure of the beryllium antigen-specific cell-mediated immune response. This response to beryllium is now understood to play a central role in the immunopathogenesis of chronic beryllium disease (CBD).
- Beryllium Facts - Information from the manufacturer Brush Wellman about beryllium, chronic beryllium disease, and what is being done about it.
- Beryllium at Hanford - Information about beryllium as it pertains to the DOE Hanford Site, in Washington State. Contains health issues, questions and answers and links.

- Beryllium copper - Beryllium copper, also known as copper beryllium, CuBe or beryllium bronze, is a metal alloy of copper and 0.5 to 3% beryllium, and sometimes with other alloying elements, and has significant metalworking and operating performance qualities.
- Beryllium telluride - Beryllium telluride (BeTe) is a chemical compound of beryllium and tellurium. It is a crystalline solid with face centred cubic symmetry, lattice constant 0.
- Beryllium - Beryllium (IPA: ) is the chemical element that has the symbol Be and atomic number 4. A bivalent element, elemental beryllium is a steel grey, strong, light-weight yet brittle, alkaline earth metal.
