I like the space tek 9 Effectronica posted:Martian soil isn't toxic. I'd expect it to have a decent amount of heavy metals in it at least, maybe that's what's meant?

Huh, weird, would have thought the lack of life and aridity of the planet would mean more contaminants in the surface soil.

Libluini posted:As Baronjutter explained, yes the soil is toxic and no, it isn't loving heavy metal what is wrong with you? Do you think lifeless planets magically get heavy metals deposited onto them by evil aliens or how did you get this poo poo? No, I thought that perhaps rainfall and the heavy layer of plant cover on Earth helped to keep the soil more discretely layered, while a planet with no rain cycle but still an atmosphere and thus winds and dust storms would have a more mixed mineral content in the upper soil.
