At present there does not appear to be an extensive problem of general environmental contamination from beryllium compounds or other elements related to missile propellants. Various beryllium compounds have been and are continuing to be studied to define their toxic properties. Unless there is a change in national policy to permit beryllium-powered rocket motors to be fired within the continental United States, the most likely application of this information is in the field of industrial toxicology and general environmental contamination from industrial uses.
