Trace levels of beryllium were determined in a variety of environmental materials. Values for foodstuffs generally were low and were on the order of 0.01 to 0.10 p.p.m. Oyster flesh and mushrooms had the highest values. The highest values for human organs were found for lung. There was little evidence for any beryllium concentration mechanism in plants. Values generally were lower for soils than those previously reported. Water from the Indian Ocean showed the lowest value for sea waters. Rain water and river water contents were comparable. The beryllium content of fish samples showed that the gut of fishes had significantly higher levels than the flesh, and the levels were somewhat related to feeding habits. eryllium metal and its compounds now have extensive B applications in atomic energy, space research, and in the chemical and metallurgical industries. The recognition that minute quantities of beryllium and its compounds, particularly beryllium oxide, can cause respiratory disease (White and Burke, 1955) led to the need for careful health control of factory and laboratory workers handling these materials. As a result of regular beryllium surveys resulting from such control, the analytical chemist has been called on to determine submicrogram quantities of beryllium in such diverse samples as paper smears, urine, grass, soil, effluent, rain water, river water, marine life, and air samples. In addition, the distribution of beryllium has been the subject of a number of geochemical and medical investigations. Recent reviews of the now extensive literature on the subject have been undertaken by Smythe and Whittem (1961) and Smythe and Florence (1963). Everest (1964) reviewed the general chemistry of berylli um.A significant proportion of the earlier work on environmental trace element levels of beryllium used methods which lacked the sensitivity and precision of those developed within the past four to five years. A knowledge of the environmental distribution and occurrence of beryllium is particularly useful to biologists, geochemists, medical research workers, and others involved in studies of the role of trace elements.Very few results of surveys for traces of beryllium find their way into the literature where they can be used by research workers. Also, gaps exist in the range of materials covered, little work having been done. for example, on human organs and marine life. MethodThis study reports results for a wide range of materials using a reliable method for the determination of beryllium a t sub parts per million levels (Cosgrove, Morgan, et a/., 1961). The method is based on the fluorimetric determination of beryllium in alkaline solution with morin (2',4',3,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) following the work of Sill and coworkers (Sill and Willis, 1959; Sill, Willis, et al., 1961). The morin method for beryllium constitutes the most sensitive chemical method known for this element, with a practical limit of 2 X 10-j pg. Be per ml.Details of preparation, digestion, and ashing of the solid samples have been descr...

“…As shown by Brinck and Hofmann (1964), the background metal content of stream sediments is dependent upon the type of rock underlying the stream basin. The background content of beryllium in stream sediments from the limestone areas was determined to be less than 2 ppm (parts per million).…”

In the central York Mountains, carbonate rocks of Early, Middle, and Late Ordovician age aggregating at least 8,000 feet in thickness are thrust northward over slate and argillaceous limestone of pre-Ordovician age which were intruded by gabbro in pre-Ordovician time. Normal faults of four distinct systems cut .the thrust plates, and, in Late Cretaceous time, stocks of biotite granite, abnormally rich in beryllium, tin, boron and other trace elements pierced the thrust plates. In part following the intrusion of the granites, a strong set of normal faults developed striking N. 60°-85° E. through the central York Mountains, and locally these faults cut the granites. Still later, dikes of granite, rhyolite porphyry, and finally, lamprophyre were injected into some of these faults. Trace elements in the lamprophyres prove that they are maflc rocks, probably derived from the sima, and that they cannot be related genetically to granite. Shortly after intrusion of the lamprophyre dikes, ore deposits of tin, beryllium, and fluorite were formed from solutions probably derived from deeply buried hot granite where the granite was ruptured by normal faults. Ore shoots were localized beneath thrust faults where the faults are intruded by dikes, and a major ore-bearing structure, the Rapid River fault, is 50 percent mineralised for half its length, or a distance of 8 miles. The tin deposits contain cassiterite and stannite in topaz greisen with abundant sulfldes of copper, lead, zinc, and iron, as well as wolframite. The beryllium deposits contain fluorite, chrysoberyl, diaspore, muscovite, and tourmaline, with trace to small amounts of euclase, bertrandite, helvite, phenakite(?), todorokite, and hematite. Beryl occurs sparsely in late veins of quartz and fluorite. Chrysoberyl is the earliest and commonest beryllium mineral, followed by euclase and bertrandite, and then phenakite(?) and beryl. Helvite is restricted near granite to banded skarns which consist of magnetite and fluorite. Throughout the district, a strong zonation is displayed from tin deposits in greisen through transitional veins of sulflde minerals with fluorite and chrysoberyl to fluorite-beryllium deposits and thence to barren veins of silica and fluorite with trace amounts of beryllium. This zonal arrangement of deposits probably will be found elsewhere in the world where greisen tin deposits occur in carbonate rocks. The ore deposits of tin and beryllium are of considerable economic and strategic value. Although the known tin deposits contain only about 23,000 short tons of tin metal less than one-half year's supply at the 1965 consumtion rate they represent by far the largest lode reserves of tin in the United States. The known beryllium deposits, though not in production, contain about 1 2 GEOLOGY, ORE DEPOSITS, YORK MOUNTAINS, ALASKA 4,500 tons of beryllium metal, more than 10 times the beryllium contained in all known domestic pegmatite deposits of substantially lower grade. As the beryllium ores contain more than percent CaF2 they constitute a large re...
