    California may ban kitchen quartz countertops over incurable disease fears

    California may implement a ban on kitchen quartz countertops due to health risks associated with silicosis, a serious lung disease caused by inhaling crystalline silica dust. The dust is generated during the cutting, polishing, and grinding of engineered quartz and other stone materials. This regulatory action reflects growing concerns about occupational and consumer health hazards linked to engineered quartz products.
