There is a theory according to which around 30 million years ago all diatoms found on earth started forming diatomite by building up deep and chalky deposits. Nowadays, diatoms are mined and used for the creation of a powder which really much resembles regular talcum powder in smell and appearance. Therefore, diatomaceous earth is a pesticide based on minerals. The ingredients that make up diatomaceous earth are about 33% silicon, 3% magnesium, 5% sodium, 19% calcium and 2% iron. There are also some trace minerals like boron, titanium, manganese, zirconium and copper. However, the dust should never be breathed continuously as this might be dangerous.
