I recently attended a 2 day Radon measurement course and was told that the AARST(American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists) would be releasing a statement regarding Radon and granite counter tops.
It has now been released. It covers risks, sources and measurement techniques. AARST Position Statement - Granite Countertops and Radon Gas(PDF) "Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts." |

Thanks Michael, its good to see this being laid to rest as a non-issue.
Quote At this time, the EPA does not believe sufficient data exists to conclude that the types of granite commonly used in countertops are significantly increasing indoor radon levels.
