What is Chronic Beryllium Disease?
Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD) is a serious lung condition caused by long-term exposure to beryllium, a metal commonly used in aerospace, nuclear, and manufacturing industries. Inhaling beryllium dust can trigger an immune response, leading to lung inflammation, scarring, and decreased lung function.
Symptoms of CBD include:
- Persistent cough
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
Workers—especially those from Department of Energy (DOE) facilities and contractors—may be eligible for benefits under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA).
At White Card Pharmacy, we offer no-cost medications and compassionate support for eligible individuals living with CBD. Our trained team is here to help every step of the way.
