Moon dust is functionally a lot like asbestos. It is composed of a sizeable amount of tiny shards of rock that aren't great for your lungs.

Yea, you should really consider that before breathing on the moon

Any lunar dust that they made contact with would have found its way into the lunar module for them to breathe in and be exposed to.
