World space agencies have another problem, “moondust” very dangerous for people. Even during the "Apollo" mission to the moon, astronauts complained, that contact with the moon dust causes them discomfort. While astronauts, during the execution of missions, We were always in suits, but when they returned on board the spacecraft, removed them, and then began to sneeze, they have very watery eyes.
Engineers from the Stony Brook University School of Medicine conducted an experiment with lunar dust. It turns out, it is much more dangerous for people, than previously thought. Moon dust not only destroys the cells in the human body, but it can also cause damage to the genome. undoubtedly, this is a huge problem, because it is very difficult to cope with the moon dust. The dust and very fine electrified particles with high energy, obtained from the sun.
Scientists have prepared an experiment, during which action the researchers artificially prepared lunar dust on living cells of mice and men. Dust in the long term damage cells, and even changed their DNA.
true, studies were conducted on the artificial moon dust, but the experiment confirmed earlier discoveries. Scientists are already planning to conduct further experiments on the real moon dust, to dispel all doubts.
Unfortunately, not known exactly, why moondust has a negative effect on the cells and DNA. probably, due to the size and shape, that allow it to easily get into the lungs, and then into the blood.
NASA and other world space agencies have already started to develop the necessary technology, which will allow better to clear space suits and equipment, if humanity really wants to colonize the moon.
