Dust.
Will it damage your components? Dunno, but I would think not unless it somehow causes a chip not to connect properly in a socket (e.g., if you pulled a chip and reinserted it, the dust might cause a poor connection).
On the other hand, I am fairly confident it WILL damage your lungs. Wear a dust mask!
