Space/Science » in reply to Microscopic martian dust (Poenix)

We've had posts on this website about the dangers of microscopic Lunar dust.

Over 2-3 years, here on this Space Science forum,
many posts have been made about the so-called "dangers"
of microscopic Lunar dust.

If Lunar dust is dangerous, what about microscopic Martian dust?
Is microscopic Martian dust as or more dangerous than Lunar dust?

Martian dust also has elemental sulfur particles mixed in....
What happens to those elemental sulfur particles and atoms
when they enter a pure oxygen environment inside a spacecraft
cabin?
Will poisonous sulfur dioxide result?...Will astronauts on Mars
be in danger because of it?

We should stop all plans to send men to Mars until we find out.
