The short answer: Unless you are inhaling it as a dust on a fairly continuous basis, then no.. it's perfectly safe. SiO2 is the single most common compound on the face of the earth. It's in various quantities in all of the foods that you eat, with the largest contributions from plants that have absorbed it from the ground. It is readily absorbed and excreted into the urine. It is the basic chemical compound of sand, glass, and most rock. However, don't be bothered by this because like all other chemical compounds, the formation that it takes in relation to fellow molecules determines a lot of its properties. For example, comparing the SiO2 in the food to you eat to the SiO2 in the window next to you, is like comparing the steam in your shower to the iceberg that sunk the titanic. Yeah, the steam and the iceberg are made of the same basic compound (H2O), but they have vastly different properties because of the relationship of the molecules to one another and whats been done to them.
Humans breathe in whatever happens to be in the air when they breathe in. If there is carbon dioxide then they will breathe it in as well as nitrogen and oxygen. However they only use the oxygen for respiration so they breathe out everything else with extra carbon dioxide.
The primary gas that humans exhale when breathing is carbon dioxide.
we also exhale water(h2o) along with carbon dioxide. All the constituents of the air we inhale are in the air we exhale. The proportions differ because of the gas exchange in the lungs.
acid rain, which can harm vegetation, wildlife, and infrastructure. Additionally, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide can contribute to respiratory issues in humans when inhaled.
The burning of fossil fuels by humans produces around 36 gigatons (36,000 megatons) of carbon dioxide each year.
harmful
no
Helpful in the stratosphere, harmful in the troposphere.
computer.. both helpful and not..
Marsupials are helpful to humans in that they keep grasses and plants at manageable levels. They are only harmful to humans when they get too close and scare the animals.
Ticks are often harmful to humans. For instance, the sheep tick could cause Lyme disease in humans.
Yes there they eat flys
No. Silica, or silicon dioxide, is not a vitamin and should not be consumed by humans or animals.
they are helpful for pest control in gardens, but are harmful for anything that tries to eat it from the spikes on its back. for humans, it is no more harmful than a hamster that doesn't like you
Beluga whales can not be harmful to humans. They are playful and very intellegent.
