What disease is associated with inhaling beryllium dust or fumes?

  1. Berylliosis

  2. Sarcoidosis

  3. Minamata disease

  4. Cadmium-fever

The correct answer is: Berylliosis

Berylliosis is a lung disease caused by inhaling beryllium dust or fumes. Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect various organs, but is not specifically associated with inhaling beryllium. Minamata disease is caused by ingesting mercury-contaminated seafood, and has no connection to beryllium. Cadmium-fever is not a recognized medical term and has no relation to beryllium exposure.
