Abstract
To the Editor:
The Turning the Air Blue opinion piece by Heinzerling and colleagues serves as a timely reminder of the now well-established harms from engineered stone, most widely used in kitchen countertops (1, 2). This article reflects strong parallels with the experience in Australia in trying to gain industry and government action for an epidemic that rapidly increased during the past decade (2, 3).
