Is precipitated silica dangerous?
Precipitated silica can absorb a lot of oil or moisture. People who have been in touch with the powder or dust for an extended period may experience a drying impact on their hands or other exposed body regions. This drying effect on the mucosal membranes of the nose and throat has produced nosebleeds on occasion. When the dry skin or mucous membranes are no longer in contact with the powder or dust, they can recover to their natural state. It is suggested to avoid skin dryness in those whose hands come into touch with precipitated silica powder.
