How to determine the amount of beryllium in the human body

Dear friends!

This section is focused on beryllium (Be), a rather dangerous chemical trace element, widespread in the urban area.

This toxic trace element could be found in the periodic table under the number 4. It is highly-toxic and has mutagenic and carcinogenic effects on the human body.

Referring to the origins of this trace element, beryllium was discovered as a BeO oxide in France in 1798. As for metallic beryllium, it was originally produced in Germany and France in 1828.

The very name of this trace element comes from a Greek word of "beryllos", which originally stood for "beryl mineral".

Beryllium becomes a component of the environment adherent to the industrial processes, instrument making, the aviation and space technology, the electronics and machine-building industries, waste processing plants and in the coal industry, precious stone carving, etc.

It is worth reminding that utilized fluorescent lamps are the major common source of beryllium entering the human body, thus it is necessary to keep children from playing with this type of household waste.

Generally, the health risk zone for the residents living in the area, the beryllium related industry is located in, makes 10 km. Thus, if you live very close or inside of the industrial zone, you have to monitor the presence of beryllium and other noxious toxic trace elements, which especially goes for children and teenagers, undergoing the active growth phase.

This trace element generally enters the body through airborne transmission, as for skin only 0.1% of the metal get through it at the direct contact.

Therefore, the worst damage to  the human body is caused by beryllium present is ambient air qua fine particulates.

The water we drink can also contribute to concentrating this toxic chemical element in the human body, due to the close neighborhood of industrial waste dumping with wells. It affects the body tissues at the cellular level, disrupting all bodily processes.

The withdrawal time for this trace element is quite long and it ranges from 1 to 20 years or even more.

The exceeded level of beryllium in the human body can result in the following pathologies, mostly affecting the respiratory tract:

•   “The foundryman's fever ”;

• skin berylliosis (dermatitis, erythema, eczema, granuloma);

• broncho-bronchiolitis, bronchoextase, pulmonary granuloma, pneumosclerosis, fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema;

• lymphadenopathy;

• “beryllium” rickets;

• respiratory and heart failure;

• hepatolienal syndrome, etc.

Analyzing the requests made by that consumers regarding this issue, we have detected the following variations:

• how to determine the amount of beryllium  present in the human body;

• how to determine the amount of beryllium  in the human body;

• how to determine the amount of beryllium in the body;

• how to reduce the level of beryllium in the body;

• how can I learn the level of beryllium in the human body;

• how the level of beryllium in the body can be determined;

• how to eliminate beryllium present in the body;

• how to learn the amount of beryllium present in the human body;

• how to determine the limit of beryllium for a child and an adult;

• why is beryllium bad for the human body;

• why is beryllium bad for a human;

• why is the excess of beryllium bad for the human body;

• why is the excess of beryllium bad for a human;

• the harm beryllium can do to a human;

• the harm beryllium can do to the human health.

Proceeding  from  statistics, we may state that people are concerned about their health and anxious about  the concentration of the toxic trace elements in the body, thus the look for the methods allowing to detect and control them.

People mostly wonder about  “the way to learn the level of beryllium in the human body”. The answer to this question may be given by the following methods of study:

- determination of beryllium with coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spectral analysis);

- determination of beryllium in the serum;

- determination of beryllium in the urine and sputum;

- determination of beryllium in sputum.

In case we need to detect beryllium which was being accumulated in the human body over a long period of time, blood and urine tests will not provide the accurate quantitative ratio,  since they vary, passing through the body and clearance systems.

The toxic trace elements get deposited in body tissues and organs and in bones, therefore, it is impossible to determine them through analyzing such organic samples, as urine and blood.

That is exactly why the unique laboratory of elemental analysis aimed at detecting and monitoring the presence of toxic trace elements in the human body of was launched within the Clinic of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in 2007. The service was initially meant for employees of the huge structure accountable to the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

The spectral analysis (you can learn more about the method by clicking this link is a unique method which provides the most  accurate information both on vital and toxic trace elements, present in the human body, which makes it possible to study the wide range of indicators instead of focusing on a certain single chemical element.

You can look into an example of the study done through the method of the spectral analysis by clicking this link.

It is a matter of great importance, since the trace elements constitute a single system and the lack of some elements causes the accumulation of the others, which results in replacement of the certain elements with the other ones.

As you might see, our project is fully devoted to the spectral analysis and its principle with regard to health control. We will gladly assist you at every step of this study, elucidate the obtained results and, if necessary, advise you on how to restore the elemental status of your body.

Our experts will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the method of spectral analysis!

The uniqueness of this method makes it possible to study samples sent from any part of the world as a usual letter. It is a truly unique tool of the health control.

Remember that the systematic control over the vital sighs it is the major step on the way to well-being and longevity.

We would like to thank you for your kind attention!
