Berylliosis Article
Hi Alan,

I thought your updates to the Berylliosis page were excellent. I wasn't sure if this completely appropriate for this article, but my only suggestion would be to add a little about the recent updates to the OSHA rule making for the Beryllium Permissible Exposure Limit which they estimate will prevent 96 premature deaths each year and prevent 50 new cases of CBD per year. Here is the link to the OSHA website:

Also, here is another citation for the epidemiology section that was heavily used in the updated Beryllium PEL process.

Great work! Matt Mdahm85 (talk) 01:16, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback Matt. Looks like someone already added some stuff about the new Beryllium rule making. I'll read that article and add that to the Epi section. Thanks

Hey Alan,

As Mat pointed out, the I think the updates seem pretty good and seems pretty understandable. I saw that someone wanted to merge acute berylliosis with chronic beryllium disease. I think that should be very interesting to see specially because the section on Acute berylliosis doesn't seem very informative.

This recent paper from NIOSH points out that not only beryllium is associated with chronic lung disease but also heart failure, CKD and salivary gland cancers:

Looks good!
