Silicosis is a lung disease caused by breathing in small pieces of silica , a mineral commonly found in sand, quartz and many rock types. Silicosis mainly affects workers exposed to silica dust in jobs such as construction and mining. The now banned (in Australia) engineered stone, is only one source of silica. While banned from use, engineered stone will continue to exist and be a potential issue for decades to come
