Paul Harvey Misleads Consumers on Radon and Granite

[representativepress]

this was made BEFORE he died. For goodness sakes, I can see why you are a Paul Harvey fan, you don't get your facts right.

It's more than a year old. I never heard of this marble radon stuff it sounds like absolute BS. But indeed the granite industry isn't the first 'independent' source I would inquire with.

I believe granite DOES release radon.

But how much.

Levels so low that it makes no diference over what is already in nature?

The bigger concern is radon coming into homes through basements and collecting in basements.

Many homes in Colorado have fans to pull radon in air from basements.

It's true, my marble countertop cooks food automagically just from the radiation emitted!

Dear Stone Bitch,

The Granite State of New Hampshire would like to have a word with you....

[bigkahunaburger55555]

granite or marble?

[flimflambbq]

Guys I don't know about you but I get all my news about stone from the Stone News Channel and trust its sources 100%.

RIP Paul Harvey.

the countertops won't emit large amounts of radon (although there may be extremely and I mean extremely slight amounts emitted), rather the truth is that if your home has granite for bedrock (as you need a large granite body), there is a good chance of radon gas getting in your home.

"Stone News Channel?"

"Marble Institute of America"?

Do these really exist?

"MIA members" unite! Woo Hoo!

[dosboss2]

Really? The Stone News Channel?? Is that next to the Weather Channel? LoL, Call your local cable network provider today!! At least Paul Harvey wouldn't wear orange under a blue blazer.. HaHa!! Glad I couldn't see her shoes! Yikes!!

Paul Harvey is A corporate Douche Lapdog shill piece of crap.

[OutaSynch]

Having said that, the radon from granite appears to be well below any harmful levels. Paul Harvey's comments, though true, are exaggerated in importance.

[asaaty]

granite rules.

radon is in the soil you build your home on...are you going to move???

i didnt think so

you can also get lung cancer from smoking or second hand smoke,yet no one does anything about that...

i dont believe that its really going to harm me

i have much larger concerns
