Since diamond is the hardest mineral on earth, one would suspect that if inhaled, the crystals would embed themselves into the lungs and cause permanent damage.

A one-time exposure would be less harmless than a consistent job that required inhalation of diamond dust. As with asbestos inhalation, the damage is done to the lungs and sometimes death does result.
