	Description:		Imagine you're in your 20s and a doctor tells you your work is literally killing you. Silicosis is an incurable lung disease caused by breathing in dust found in manufactured stone-style benchtops. It's fatal, and doctors are calling it an epidemic. The Coalition has pledged to form a taskforce to investigate silicosis if it's elected. But what do we know about the disease so far? And is enough being done to keep workers safe? Featured: Dr Graeme Edwards, Brisbane-based doctor and spokesman for the Royal Australasian College of Physicians
