Regolith seems to be an issue that is pervasive to unsealed containers. Doesn't it pose an equal harm then through human orifices by respiration etc?

- jmclnx 3y agoI thought I read many years ago there is a concern with breathing regolith in. Because regolith is not kind of "smooth" like particles here on Earth, they can get stuck in the lungs causing various health issues.
