I looked through this page ... beryllium doesn't seem to be very
poisonous if the material is correct.  I seem to recall a long posting
from someone in the Beryllium industry contesting the statements made
about the danger from beryllium.  From this WWW page, it appears that
berillium dust is about as dangerous as glass dust.
