I think that diatomaceous earth is actually silica!!! The stuff that asbestos is made of in a different form. I suspect that it would be bad to breath the stuff. They use it to enhance filtration. We have a jar in my laboratory and it has a MSDS warning to use a respirator!!!! Cool stuff under a microscope!!!!
