After each time, the team would count how many cells were left and measured how the lunar soil affected the cell’s DNA. Researchers found that the moon dust killed the cells or caused damage to the cells’ DNA. Scientists were not able to measure the DNA damage in human lungs cells because the simulated lunar soil killed all the cells. In the mouse brain cells, the lunar soil caused DNA damage to the neurons. During the Apollo 17 moon mission, astronauts found that when they inhaled the lunar dust dragged in by their gear, they would experience lunar hay fever. The astronauts would be sneezing and have watery eyes and sore throats as a result of inhaling moon dust. It took a couple of hours for the sensation to go away.

Researchers find simulated Moon dust kills cells and alters DNA!
