Absolutely not! The ceramic filter is made of high purity silicon carbide, SiC. SiC is completely inert in the conditions in the pipe. It does not react, or release gases or particulates. Also, the ceramic filter is monolithic (it is made of a single, continuous piece of ceramic). It is not made of sintered particles that can break off and be inhaled.
