Carcinogenic dust covering Mars landing project is blocked cause.

<P> - Technology Channel [tech.] News: According to "New Scientist" magazine reported that recently, scientists found that the dust covering the surface of Mars on landing astronauts on the Red Planet pose a serious threat. .The experiments show that scientists, small dust particles has a strong sink activity than the silica dust on lung tissue cells to produce more toxic. .</ P> <P align=center> </ P> <P> along, NASA (NASA) recognizes the dust covering the surface of Mars may be a series of health problems caused by humans. .In 1972, during the Apollo 17 mission, moon mission astronauts to the moon in the lunar debris was found stuck on a space suit. .Astronaut Harrison Schmitt on the lunar dust is also a result suffered due to "hay fever." .</ P> <P> 2002, the U.S. National Research Council Study Group warned that Martian airborne dust harmful to humans. .And called on NASA studies of such dust, to find an effective way to reduce harmful levels. .However, the vast majority of studies in recent years, the quartz dust on the Earth, and this quartz dust on Mars or the moon is not widespread. .</ P> <P> from SUNY Stony Brook University (Stony Brook University), a research group on the surface of Mars dust properties were studied. .On the red planet researchers found the three most common silicate minerals - feldspar, pyroxene and olivine. .</ P> <P> highly active compounds </ P> <P> researchers to 200 mg of Martian dust into 5 ml of water, experimental results show that the ore dust in the destruction of chemical bonds, making the dust reacts violently with water .generate hydrogen peroxide, and also including the high activity of hydroxyl (OH) with an electronic compounds and oxides (ie peroxide). .</ P>.
