Portal travel isn't toxic. However, ground up moon rocks, which are an almost perfect portal conductor, are very bad for you.
"The bean counters told me we literally didn't have $7 to buy moon rocks with, let alone $70 million. Bought 'em anyway! Ground them up, mixed them into a gel. And guess what? Ground up moon rocks are pure poison!"
I'm deathly ill.
The dust is actually really sharp irl, afaik. It never has been ground down by weather or wind. So it actually is terrible for equipment and people, lol.
Like the silica storms on mars?
Or am I just misremembering from a sci-fi movie?
I would presume not since a storm would actually weather them down. The dust on the moon is like if sand was actually shards of glass.
