Winner – 2023 AIOH Conference 3M Best Paper Award. This paper discusses the controversy over the use of the linear non-threshold (LNT) model and presents the case for the existence of a threshold of effect for both asbestos and crystalline silica. The existence of threshold affect does not support the suggested need to further reduce the current OELs for these substances and others. Presented by Ian Firth

AIOH President Tracey Bence – Statement
Engineered stone is a man-made product made by mixing natural stone materials with other chemicals like water, resins, and pigments. It is commonly used for bathroom and kitchen surfaces and is marketed as a durable and easy-to-maintain option. However, the dust generated from cutting or polishing the product is toxic and can be harmful when inhaled.
This webinar will address the variability of health hazards associated with the processing of engineered stone. The materials science of conventional benchtop engineered stone, new low-silica engineered stone products, as well as other construction materials, will be covered. The complexity of pathogenesis and implications of recent research will be explored. Some challenges, misconceptions and future research directions will be discussed.
