In this case it's pretty much the same risk as inhaling asbestos dust. Fun fact, in the past, beer was filtered through asbestos, which was perfectly safe because asbestos is only dangerous when inhaled. Nowadays it's filtered through Kieselgur because its properties are pretty much identical to those of asbestos.
