UK Banning Quartz Counter-Tops - Disease & Deaths From Dust

[[e-mail]]

'Britain must go further still in prioritising the health
of workers and ban the use of high silica engineered stone
which, as the tragic and preventable deaths show, can
be lethal.'

Last month, father-of-three and stonemason Marek Marzec, 48,
died after months of receiving end-of-life care for silicosis.

Mr Marzec said the dust he inhaled while cutting trendy
quartz kitchen worktops has left him 'unable to breathe'
and 'in terrible pain'.

Meanwhile in May, Wessam al Jundi, 28, died in hospital
while waiting for a lung transplant in what is believed
to be the first confirmed death from quartz worktop-related
silicosis.

The worktops, popular in kitchen refurbishments, are
cheaper than granite or marble.

. . .

Cutting/grinding this stuff basically creates huge
clouds of microscopic glass shards that rapidly
dig into the lungs and shred everything. If you
thought asbestos was bad ...... this does you in
FAST.

Some home-owners doing self-installs have also
been afflicted.

Go back to granite or whatever ! It too makes dust,
but it's not like little razor-knives.

Good to know. Thanks for raising awareness per the danger of quartz
counter tops.

They were promoted as 'cheaper & better'.

Left out the 'deadly' bit ....

That's frightening.
I have marble counter tops in my home.
This is an example of good government regulation.
EU is way ahead of US regarding protecting it's citizens from harmful
items. Food in particular.

Marble is OK - synthetic marble a bit better. It's a
different mineral with different crystal structure so,
while you really shouldn't breath the dust, it's not
gonna shred your insides so bad. This quartz material
has fucked up a lot of people QUICK - enough for the
State to freak out.

Likely a lot MORE cases they haven't even heard about yet.

Now it IS a problem - something that can be formed as
needed yet is hard enough to resist knife gouges and
such and doesn't absorb moisture. The quartz DID look
good and initially seemed to fit the bill - but nobody
looked into it further or they'd have found a long
legacy. Shoulda come with a skull-n-bones sticker ...

Prob the best, and still pretty popular, are some grades
of granite. Comes in a variety of colors and patterns so
consumers are not stuck with one-size-fits-all.

There's always, horrors, STAINLESS STEEL too .....

Thank you for the warning!
Yes quartz is basically glass...
Use a micro filter in your hover too...
