| Abstract |
During the drawing from the kiln of beryllium oxide ceramics, local exhaust ventilation is provided by means of a vacuum pump coupled to a detachable filter by a flexible tube. The operator is thus protected from polluted air and the filter retains the substances which will serve to check the level of pollution. A simplified method is described for BeO dosage, based on the fluorescence of morin. An appendix gives a description of beryllium poisoning symptoms and means of medical prevention. |
