For comparison here is moon dust side by side with similar dust/sand particles from various places on earth.

@freemo @AnarchoCatgirlism@transfem.social Moon dust would appear to be an inhalation hazard.

Yes that is what I have heard. It supposedly is similar to asbestos in both its effect and mechanism of action.

@freemo @AnarchoCatgirlism@transfem.social We should have just stopped at telling the government that there's useful material on the moon.

I would expect it to also be similar to silicosis.

My grandpa died of that, it's a terrible way to go. You end up having your lungs sliced up from the inside and the scar tissue slowly takes away your ability to breathe.

So very hard to hear that. My grandmother died of COPD (not asbestos related). It is a horrible thing to see or experience suffocating to death :(

@AmpBenzScientist @AnarchoCatgirlism@transfem.social

@freemo @sj_zero @AnarchoCatgirlism@transfem.social I've inhaled silica and asbestos, thankfully I won't have any issues with it. Every man in my family has died from folding ladder related injuries. I did no research on that but I just said it.

Such impulse control issues are very common in my family. Maybe there will be a way to 3D print organs that last in the near future. It should only take 10 or so tries to get a decent print.
