The bots have apparently realized they were too obvious and now don't add a description or title to their blogs at all so reminder to any new users to have Something there or you'll end up blocked and reported by mistake

Nononono silica dust is a known and common hazard in construction and manufacturing. This is deliberate and horrifying neglect on the part of these employers. They could have properly implemented engineering controls, they could have required respirators on the shop floor. What you call "super asbestos" (silica dust) has been killing people for centuries, as long as people have been stonemasons really. OSHA has strict standards regarding the PEL for silica dust, but there is a dangerous lack of awareness and enforcement of safety protocols. This is not some new horror of the culture of capitalism, this is ordinary and awful and age old neglect.

Silicosis is an old problem, but this specific case is a new horror.

If you read the article, it points out that silicosis has been around a long time, but engineered stone has a much higher percentage of silica than ordinary stone, and so instead of dying of silicosis in their sixties or seventies, men are being disabled or dying as early as their twenties. Even the workshops that are using the standard safety protocols aren't safe, because this material is so dangerous:

Nearly half of the workers suffering silicosis in the UCLA and UCSF study said their workplaces were using water to control dust. Roughly a quarter said they always had respiratory protection. Fazio said studies have found that in many shops, dust is so thick in the air that respirators cannot filter out a sufficient amount.

[...]

In Australia, where the government is weighing whether to ban engineered stone, a professional group whose members assess worker health hazards concluded that the high concentration of silica in engineered stone makes it difficult for measures such as wet cutting and ventilation to adequately protect workers.

Bath time! 🧼💙

I thought you would like to see my painting process too since many people often praise it! Working with grayscale before placing the colors helps a lot to decide the contrast of everything so I always use this to my advantage to create the desired atmosphere for the painting.

You can always ask questions on my profile to find out more 💙 thank you
