  • This is just a test question.
  1. True
  2. False

Health Effects Quiz Bowl

  • Health effects from beryllium include which of
    the following?
  1. Beryllium sensitization (BeS)
  2. Chronic beryllium disease (CBD)
  3. Acute Beryllium Disease
  4. All of the above

5
Health Effects Quiz Bowl

  • Skin effects, such as slow wound healing, skin
    nodules, and beryllium sensitization (BeS) are
    some health effects from beryllium.
  1. True
  2. False

6
Health Effects Quiz Bowl
10
  • Beryllium sensitization (BeS) means that your
    immune cells multiply when exposed to beryllium.
    It causes no symptoms.
  1. True
  2. False

7
Health Effects Quiz Bowl
10
  • Two abnormal BeLPTs means you have beryllium
    sensitization (BeS) and a medical evaluation is
    needed to know if you have CBD.
  1. True
  2. False

8
Health Effects Quiz Bowl
10
  • Symptoms of chronic beryllium disease (CBD)
    include shortness of breath, particularly with
    physical activity, along with sweating at night
    and feeling tired.
  1. True
  2. False

9
Health Effects Quiz Bowl
10
  • Your genes (DNA) and amount of exposure to
    beryllium increase risk for beryllium
    sensitization (BeS) and chronic beryllium disease
    (CBD).
  1. True
  2. False

10
Health Effects Quiz Bowl
10
  • When can you get beryllium sensitization (BeS)
    and/or chronic beryllium disease (CBD)?
  1. Many years after last exposure
  2. Within 3 months of first exposure
  3. After a normal BeLPT
  4. At any time after first exposure

  • One of the main reason to do medical surveillance
    is to determine if your exposure control measures
    are working correctly.
  1. True
  2. False

  • Proper training, fit testing and no facial hair
    are all needed for a respirator to be effective
    in preventing exposure to beryllium particles.
  1. True
  2. False

16

  • Area samples are as good as personal samples to
    determine a beryllium workers exposure to
    beryllium particles in the air.
  1. True
  2. False

17

  • 2 µg/m3 and 0.2 µg/m3 (8 hour average) are the
    federal OSHA and California OSHA beryllium
    exposure limits.
  1. True
  2. False

  • If your co-worker is found to have BeS, other
    workers with similar jobs may also be at risk.
  1. True
  2. False
