element of the month
Beryllium is a steel-gray, strong, lightweight and brittle alkaline earth metal. It is a relatively rare element in the Universe and in Earth in present, e.g., in emeralds (as (Be3Al2(SiO3)6); the green color is due to trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium). Beryllium is used in aerospace material for aircraft components, missiles, spacecraft, and satellites; it is also the most common window material for X-ray equipment and components of particle detectors. From the Biological point of view, inhaled beryllium-containing dusts can cause a chronic life-threatening allergic disease, called berylliosis.
