Is Granite Safe? 5.5.09
As a Kitchen and Bathroom remodeling business we represent multiple countertop materials, without preference, simply informing clients of the properties of various surface choices. We want you to feel informed about any surface or product in your home. In recent media publications, concerns about the safety of granite have been raised. The particular point of concern is the amount of radon that is released by the natural stone. In rebuttal to their competitors, the manufacturers of natural stone launched an in depth study to test over 800 kinds of stone. They hired the scientists at Environmental Health and Engineering Inc of Needham, MA in order to prove or disprove the claims about radon emissions. The results show that the amount of radon emitted by granite countertops is so low that granite does not pose a health concern. There will always be natural radon emissions from the products in our homes and even the products that we eat. (The EPA recommends that if you are concerned you should have your home inspected.) You may be surprised to know that about 60% of the radon emissions occurring around your home are let out from the very soil it was built upon. To read more visit the Marble Institute of America's site where a pdf of the findings can be read in order to feel confident about the safety of using granite in your own home.
