I suppose my question is are there any factors (time of exposure or depth) that could make make this event hazardous in any way. My apologies if any of this seems naive or ridiculous.

just wondering...

This has happened to me a lot. I got a batch of dusty sorb that in spite of my best efforts still got dust in the scrubber. Sometimes it would make me cough at depth and in doing so a bit of gas would make its way into my stomach. On land you don't notice, but when that 100ml of gas has entered your stomach at depth it has a habit of expanding when you ascend.

It has to go somewhere.
