ABSTRACT |
In returning humans to the Moon, the Lunar Airborne Dust Toxicity Advisory Group (LADTAG) must address many problems faced by the original Apollo astronauts. Major among these is control of the fine dust (<20 microns) that makes up approx.20 wt% portion of the lunar surface. This ubiquitous, clinging, sharp, abrasive, glassy dust caused a plethora of problems with seals, abrasion, and coatings, in addition to possible health problems, including lunar dust hayfever. The lifetime of reactive sites on the surfaces of irradiated lunar dust grains is of interest to those studying human health because of the free radicals and toxic compounds that may be formed and may not passivate quickly when exposed to habitat/spacecraft air. |
