Been hearing rumblings of radon gas emisions from granite countertops
and wanted to see what other people have experienced as it appears the
manufactured counter top folks profess it's a great hazard and the
granite people say it's nothing to be bothered with.

I have read a ton of stuff and still don't see it one or the other.
One of the confusing things is that they state radon gas is a
natuarlly occurring gas that happens when soil decays. They say it
can enter your home thru cracks or openings in your home's
foundation. The reason I question this with countertops is if the
"gas" needs a passageway to get from the soil into your home, how does
it get out of the countertop and into the air in your kitchen if the
countertop is completely sealed against bacteria with a non-pourous
coating???

Just wanted to check people's opinions and experiences.... thank

You should not go anywhere near granite. I had my mothers headstone made
out of corian so her visitors would stay healthy.
Too much exposure has also been know to cause paranoia. Ray Davies has
claimed that "paranoia is the destroyaaaa".

Have a nice day.
