Down with the rich and all, yes I agree, but don't most people, regardless of their economic status, need some type of bench top (or countertop, as us Yanks call them)? Seems like this is saying that there's no good stone or "stone" alternative.
Cutting ceramic tile produces a fuckton of fine dust. Including silicates.
Not an issue with proper ppe. Same with these countertops honestly. You read the underlying studies and its like everyone with the health issues did not wear any ppe. The people who did wear ppe didn’t have the health issues.
