Inhaling finely divided crystalline silica can lead to severe inflammation of the lung tissue, silicosis, bronchitis, lung cancer, and systemic autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Inhalation of amorphous Aerosil 200 Silicon Dioxide, in high doses, leads to non-permanent short-term inflammation, where all effects heal.

The pure unaltered form is considered a nuisance dust.
Some deposits contain small amounts of crystahne quartz and are therefore fibrogenic.
