x-posted, followups set to rec.food.equipment


Over the weekend, I read an article in my local newspaper about a
possible risk of radiation &/or radon contamination from kitchen and
bathroom countertops made of granite & other similar materials. The
article intimated the number of incidences is most likely very small,
but the potential risk does seem to be there. Has anyone else heard of
this? Almost makes one wonder if a geiger counter should be taken when
shopping for building materials!

For those who might be curious, here's a link for the same article at
the Sacramento Bee newspaper* entitled, "Some homeowners, concerned
about radioactivity, testing granite countertops":
