The paper explicitly states that while lunar dust has sharp edges and irritant potential (mechanical abrasion of skin, eyes) — it does not establish that the exposure risk is equivalent to asbestos, nor that it behaves identically in terms of chronic fibrosis or mesothelioma risk. In fact, it emphasises that we don’t yet know the long-term human health effects.
The asbestos part… Well. Its not literally asbestos nor does it have anything in common with asbestos in terms of health effects. In fact it might, but we don’t know. So your claim is wrong on every level and i love how you try to cite a paper that does not support your claim x)
Nein. Fine particulate is a concern on both moon and Mars though.

I think the dispute is in how literally somebody is reading your statement
