A 48-year-old stonemason revealed that he has only weeks to live after developing an incurable lung disease due to his work with kitchen worktops made out of quartz.
Marek Marzec announced that he will be taking legal action against his former employers after being diagnosed with a lung disease called silicosis, which he said was due to inhaling the dust generated as a by-product of cutting the mineral.
Being left with no recourse after his doctors informed him that he was too ill to undergo a lung transplant, Marzec has decided to spend his remaining strength making sure others don’t face the same fate.
