Well, strictly speaking "air" won't hurt a hard drive that's been opened up. Pure air, that is.
But just one of the invisible particles that are floating in every-day air around us (even one particle of cigarette smoke) can cause a hard drive to crash if it is closed up again and run. This is because the read-write heads float on a microscopic layer of air, rather than actually touching the magnetic media. A dust particle getting into the tiny gap between the head and the disk can cause a hard drive "crash".
That's why hard drives are assembled in clean rooms by people wearing "bunny suits" - remember the old Intel ads a few years ago.
