Pulmonary and systemic immune alterations in rats exposed to airborne lunar dust by Brian E. Crucian, Heather Quiriarte, Chiu-wing Lam, Mayra Nelman, Audrie A. Colorado, Douglass M. Diak, John T. James

“…There were minimal adverse immune effects, in both lung or peripheral blood, following low-dose exposure to 20.8 mg/m3 lunar dust.ConclusionExposures to high concentrations of lunar dust resulted in persistent lung inflammation and some systemic immune dysregulation that did not subside even 13 weeks after the dust exposure. This information is beneficial in deriving an exposure limit to airborne lunar dust and for spacecraft engineers considering dust mitigation systems in lunar landers or habitats.…”
