Acute exposure to beryllium fumes can cause a severe, sometimes fatal pneumonitis
(inflammation of the lungs). Chronic overexposure to beryllium is more common and
causes a diffuse inflammatory reaction in the lungs resulting in granulomas and
fibrosis of the lungs and, in time, increasing shortness of breath. Beryllium poisoning
is termed berylliosis.
