Toxicity of lunar dust [PDF]

Planetary and Space Science, 2012
The formation, composition and physical properties of lunar dust are incompletely characterised with regard to human health. While the physical and chemical determinants of dust toxicity for materials such as asbestos, quartz, volcanic ashes and urban particulate matter have been the focus of substantial research efforts, lunar dust properties, and ...

Laser melting manufacturing of large elements of lunar regolith simulant for paving on the Moon

Scientific Reports, 2023
The next steps for the expansion of the human presence in the solar system will be taken on the Moon. However, due to the low lunar gravity, the suspended dust generated when lunar rovers move across the lunar soil is a significant risk for lunar ...

Formation of the Lunar Dust Ejecta Cloud

The Planetary Science Journal, 2021
The Lunar Dust Experiment (LDEX) on board the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) mission orbited the Moon from 2014 September to 2015 April and observed a dynamic, permanently present dust cloud produced by continual meteoroid ...

Lunar dust and lunar simulant activation and monitoring [PDF]

Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2009
Abstract— NASA plans to resume human exploration of the Moon in the next decade. One of the pressing concerns is the effect that lunar dust (the fraction of the lunar regolith <20 μm in diameter) will have on systems, both human and mechanical, due to the fact that various problems were caused by dust during the Apollo missions.

Olivine Dissolution in Simulated Lung and Gastric Fluid as an Analog to the Behavior of Lunar Particulate Matter Inside the Human Respiratory and Gastrointestinal Systems

GeoHealth, 2021
With the Artemis III mission scheduled to land humans on the Moon in 2025, work must be done to understand the hazards lunar dust inhalation would pose to humans.

Weak Dust Activity Near a Geologically Young Surface Revealed by Chang'E‐3 Mission

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
In spite of great scientific and engineering interests in lunar exploration, natural dust activity near the Moon surface remains unclear. According to distinct reflectance features of lunar rocks and regolith observed by Chang'E‐3 mission, long‐term dust
