Safety Description:The pure unaltered form is considered a nuisance dust. Some deposits contain small amounts of crystalline quartz and are therefore fibrogenic. When diatomaceous earth is calcined (with or without fluxing agents) some silica is converted to cristobalite and is therefore fibrogenic. Tridymite has never been detected in calcined diatomaceous earth.
