Eh. You should be cutting that with a wet saw, like any other masonry product. The problem is that a lot of contractors are trying to go fast, since time is money, and they skip wetting stone and masonry products while cutting.
It’s pretty bad. IIRC Australia has banned/is banning stone composite countertops because of how many workers were getting silicosis from breathing the dust, and they were getting silicosis at really young ages. Like, mid-20s. Silicosis isn’t bad in the same way as mesothelioma, but it’s its own kind of hell.

Yeah it’s not as bad as asbestos. I think it will be similar to lead paint. Bad for you, but not downright dangerous.
