Is silica a rust inhibitor

Silica Gel is a drying and dehumidifying agent that drinks moisture to prevent rust, corrosion, mold, mildew, spoilage, fogging, and condensation. The minimum respiratory protection for a worker who is working with crystalline silica dust, but is not doing abrasive blasting, may be an N95 NIOSH-approved respirator. The units can be recharged as often as needed for lifetime protection. Silica gel is inert and non-toxic. Silica is the biggest risk to construction workers after asbestos. Heavy and prolonged exposure to R.C.S. can cause lung cancer and other serious respiratory diseases. H.S.E. commissioned estimates it was responsible for the death of over 500 construction workers in 2005. Acute silicosis: This can occur after only weeks or months of exposure to very high levels of crystalline silica. Death occurs within months. Breathing in very small ("respirable") crystalline silica particles causes multiple diseases, including silicosis, an incurable lung disease that leads to disability and death. Respirable crystalline silica also causes lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and kidney disease. Crystalline silica is toxic to humans when inhaled because of how it damages tissues in the lungs. Crystalline silica in other places in the environment, such as surface water or groundwater, is not a concern for human health because it is not breathed in from these sources.
