Quartz stone releases a large amount of silica dust during processing. If workers do not take effective protective measures, such as wearing dust masks and using ventilation equipment, they are exposed to high concentrations of dust for a long time, and the risk of silicosis is extremely high.

During the processing of cutting and polishing, a large amount of stone dust will be generated. If these dusts contain quartz and other components, they may cause lung diseases such as silicosis after being inhaled by the human body.

Engineered stone is a man-made building material that is commonly used in interior decoration and construction projects such as countertops, floors, and walls. It is made from natural stone particles or fragments mixed with resin, cement or other binders, processed, shaped, pressed and solidified. Mix ratios of engineered stone vary by manufacturer, product type and specific needs.
