12. Beryllium behavior in the environment
Pollution limits vary from country to country, but the orders of magnitude remain roughly the same (table 11 ).
In the various receiving media
in aquatic environments: in water, beryllium is almost exclusively absorbed by ultrafine mineral particles. However, in acidic environments, it can pass into solution, reducing the self-purification capacity of water at concentrations of 0.01 mg/L and above. This phenomenon results in high levels of toxicity for fish and micro-organisms;
in the atmosphere: beryllium migrates into the atmosphere through...
