Radon in Granite. Facts or Fiction

Radon Facts or Fiction

In the recent time some information has circulated online that has created consumer concern about radiation levels occurring in natural granite used for residential countertops. The report suggests some countertops may pose health risks, ignoring years of legitimate and independent scientific research that has concluded that natural stone is perfectly safe to use in homes.

The report was prompted by a group that claims to be independent, but is actually funded by two companies that manufacture synthetic stone counters made of quartz gravel, resins, coloring agents and other chemicals.
Unlike these competing synthetic products, granite is not manufactured in a plant by combining all those harmful chemicals. It is a “green” environment-friendly product of nature. Throughout the years, consumers have been drawn to natural stone’s beauty, durability, cleanliness and, what is most important, safety.

It’s outrageous that manufacturers of synthetic stone countertops would use a front group like this to scare consumers. It is also alarming that manufacturers of a competing product feel they can only compete by groundlessly creating fear about natural stone, which is perfectly safe to use.
