Found in:
- Springs, relays, clips and connections on boards where flexibility in copper is needed
- copper-beryllium alloy (typically 98% copper, 2% beryllium)
Impacts:
Beryllium = known human carcinogen
Beryllium dust (from shredding) & fumes (from high temp metal refining processes) can cause berylliosis with permanent lung scarring, and can be fatal.
