Compact expressions for energy-angle distribution and energy distribution for axion from electron scattering on an atomic target are derived using the generalized Weizsacker-Williams method. The axion flux from an electron beam dump is estimated. It is also shown that even in a proton beam dump, the mechanism of producing axions is still predominantly due to electrons in the dump.
