Abstract Synopsis
- Previous lunar missions highlighted potential risks associated with lunar soil, particularly for astronauts who may spend extended periods on the Moon.
- Studies using lung and neuronal cell cultures exposed to lunar soil simulants showed that these materials could lead to cell death and DNA damage.
- Freshly crushed lunar soil simulants were more harmful than those received from suppliers, but the observed cytotoxicity and genotoxicity did not directly relate to the production of reactive oxygen species or the accumulation of detectable DNA damage.
