Assuming that teh EPA and FOX are accurately reporting *the
University of Akron and Consumer Reports results, and they
tested the same granites that were reported on the in NY article,
the radon levels in Dr. Sugarman’s kitchen were incorrectly
measured or reported, due to a different source, or her kitchen
was extraordinarily poorly vented.

But with at least 900 kinds of granite from 63 countries being
available
in the US, I expect U of A and CR didn't test them all just yet.

At some level, I'm sure that anything we dig up has some radiation,
'cept granma maybe.
