April 12, 2024- The Hill–Incurable and unconscionable: How immigrants are contracting deadly lung disease making kitchen countertops. Brayton Purcell is referenced in an article published by The Hill, which highlights the alarming issue of silicosis among Latino immigrant workers in California. These workers, many of whom are involved in manufacturing quartz kitchen countertops, are contracting this deadly lung disease due to exposure to silica dust. The fabrication of quartz, a material containing over 90 percent silica, releases fine dust particles that, when inhaled, lead to the disease.
