California to restrict common kitchen items
California is moving to ban the creation and installation of man-made quartz containing more than 1 percent crystalline silica due to rising cases of silicosis among workers who carve the material for countertops. The Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board is expected to approve the emergency regulation in October. The disease, linked to silica dust exposure, has affected more than 600 Californians in recent years, with most victims being men around age 52. One affected worker, Enrique Gonzalez, lost two years of work and underwent a lung transplant, highlighting the health risks associated with stone manufacturing.
