Is Your Granite Countertop Spewing Radiation Into Your Kitchen?
Granite countertops are a popular feature in American homes and new evidence suggests some stone slabs may be hazardous to homeowner health, emitting minute levels of radiation.
In a 4-minute story, NBC’s The Today Show addresses the “millions of Americans that have installed granite countertops because of their beauty and durability”. It offers a balanced report of the risks that may — or may not — accompany the quarry-mined stone.
If you’re concerned about radiation emanating from your granite countertops, consider contacting the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists. An in-home radiation test costs about $200.
