Asbestos particles cause cancer (due to the IRRITATION it causes, asbestos itself is NOT carcinogenic, neither is vermiculite) but BOTH have been blamed on cancer.......so if aerogel only irritates the lungs, one could asume that chronic irritation by aerogel particles would probably just as irritating and carcinogenic to your lungs as vermiculite, asbestos, gypsum, etc. (which are also glass-like particles under a microscope just like aerogel dust is).......be careful.....use a mask

@nielsballing "Pressing firmly enough will cause a catastrophic breakdown in the sparse structure, causing it to shatter like glass—a property known as friability" Wikipedia. Yea, I know, however I assure you it is not LITERALY 99% air. 2 months ago I didn't know it had such properties, I have had time to learn more about it, now I know.

@mfgootcagfy If it's 99% air, 6000 times it's weight isn't much

[mfgootcagfy]

Its bristle, what the hell do you mean you pinched it and it broke? It can hold 6000 times it weight but it can't support you pressing down on it? Bullshit.
