a) It is truly dangerous. On par with asbestos.

Asbestos degrades over time and releases fibers with almost no effort/interaction with the material.
Engineered stone only releases dangerous particles when cut. It does not degrade.
They both require special care when being disposed of, but they are not "on par"
