The lung disease, silicosis, threatens people who manufacture artificial stone, including quartz, that are used for countertops. Silicosis is also a threat for sandblasters and miners and some construction workers. It's a disease that is preventable, as explained by researchers Jerry Abraham, MD, and Judith Crawford, PhD. Abraham is a professor of pathology and director of Upstate’s environmental and occupational pathology, and Crawford is a certified industrial hygienist and research associate at Upstate.
