Safety
Some magnetrons have ceramic insulators containing beryllium oxide. These ceramics often appear somewhat pink or purple-colored. Note that beryllium oxide is white so relying on the color to identify its presence would be unwise. Beryllium is a serious chemical hazard if crushed and inhaled, or otherwise ingested. Beryllium is listed as a confirmed human carcinogen by the IARC; therefore, broken ceramic insulators or magnetrons should not be directly handled. [1]
