| [Definition]
ChEBI: A metal sulfate in which the metal is beryllium (in the +2 oxidation state) and the ratio of beryllium to sulfate is 1:1. | [General Description]
Colorless, odorless crystals. Highly toxic by inhalation and ingestion. Sinks and mixes with water. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Soluble in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
BERYLLIUM SULFATE is incompatible with the following: Acids, caustics, chlorinated hydrocarbons, oxidizers, molten lithium . | [Health Hazard]
Any dramatic, unexplained weight loss should be considered as possible first indication of beryllium disease. Other symptoms include anorexia, fatigue, weakness, malaise. Inhalation causes pneumonitis, nasopharyngitis, tracheobronchitis, dyspnea, chronic cough. Contact with eyes causes conjunctival inflammation. Contact with skin causes dermatitis of primary irritant or sensitization type; causes ulcer formation when in contact with cuts. | [Fire Hazard]
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic beryllium oxide and sulfuric acid fumes may form in fire. | [Hazard]
A confirmed carcinogen. |
