Beryllium Oxide
 
(BeO)

A ceramic used as the substrate for devices requiring excellent heat transfer.

In substrate form BeO is not considered dangerous. However, BeO is an extremely inert substance, and as such the dust from ground or sawn BeO presents a health hazard. Once BeO dust is taken into the lungs, it cannot be easily removed, and will diminish lung capacity.
