Safe handling procedures for Diatomaceous Earth:

>From the document, DE is -basically- safe as long as it's not processed at
high temperatures (creating Cristobalite), and it is considered a 'nuisance
dust' which can irritate the lungs.   Safe handling procedure is fairly
straightforward, and good ventilation and proper handling are all that's
needed.   DE makes a great filter media.
