Moon dust is functionally a lot like asbestos. It is composed of a sizeable amount of tiny shards of rock that aren't great for your lungs.
It's sand that has never been exposed to water or oxygen. This leaves various reactive chemicals on the surface that would normally be broken down. The lack of water also means the particles haven't been smoothed off as much. They are sharp and spiky.
The combination of these effects makes the dust quite unique, compared to earth dust.
Burned, according to the astronauts. I don’t know if the exact mechanism has been published anywhere, but since spent gunpowder has been oxidized I imagine that’s what’s going on with the dust as well.
The sample size is at least a little bit bigger...
Some guy stole moon rocks (presumably still had moon dust on them) to bang his gf on them.
don't use amp links pls
Roberts was sentenced to more than eight years in prison for his role in the Moonrock caper, as well as a separate offence of stealing dinosaur bones from a museum in Utah.

So, if someone were to crash the moon into the earth to stop it escaping, as many as 1/12 of the population could experience a reduced quality of life?
Might need to consider not doing that I suppose.

He's a climate change denier though.
Not being allergic to finely graded rocks that have been bathing in radiation for billions of years seems more unlikely.
