TL;DR Summary

Spectral analysis of the dust samples from Port Isabel, which were showered with dust from SpaceX's Starship launch, shows that it might have been sand from the beach instead of chunks of concrete and Fondag from the launch pad. Dr. Phil Metzger, a planetary scientist at the University of Central Florida, ran the analysis and believes that the dust particles were not dangerous for human health. NASA is also interested in analyzing the dust from the Starship launch since it will help the agency develop launch sites on the Moon.
