This paper describes the development of an apparatus for dry separation of respirable lunar dust, focusing on the <3 m fraction. The study uses the lunar soil simulant JSC-1Avf and discusses the toxicity of lunar dust, particularly the nanophase metallic iron (np-Fe0) in lunar soil. The apparatus is designed to ensure maximum recovery of small dust particles for toxicological studies. This paper focuses on the characterization of lunar dust for toxicological studies, including particle size distribution, texture, and shape characteristics. It references lunar samples and simulants for comparison and analysis.
These are the records this paper contributes to the simulant, returned sample, method, and property browsers.
