The Truth About Granite and Radon/Radiation - UPDATED VIDEO

[Taxminia0311]

He's a fucking liar regardelss of they say it does have, granit will not be place in my new home at all I will be having my builder use corian countertops

Not to jump on your video, but there is a slight error in your science:

You say Radon is not Radiation... This is sort of true, but misleading.

Uranium is also not radiation, but, like radon, it also emits radiation. Radon is a gas that emits radiation. Radon comes from the radioactive breakdown of Uranium and Thorium.

Remember, it is important to tell the full truth.

@antiprotons I thought it was the breakdown of Radium. ? I'm confused.

[antiprotons]

@nuclearisgood99 radioactive elements change either protons or neutrons, or just their energy states, by accepting or releasing radiation. Radium is part of a long decay chain from Uranium. Thorium 230, five steps down the chain from U238, undergoes alpha decay to become Radium 226, whcih undergoes alpha decay to become radon 222, whcih undergoes alpha too... alpha=2 protons, 2 neutrons... 230-4= 226 - 4 = 222, see?

The "truth" and NOT an implication ... Radon IS a naturally occurring gas (element) IT IS ALSO RADIOACTIVE AND DOES EMMIT BETA AND GAMMA RADIATION. The statement, "Radon is not radiation" is technically true but radiation from radon gas is NOT good for your health. Granite (igneous rock) contains radon, uranium, potassium, feldspar, quartz, etc. Granite isn't automatically bad but DO use sealed granite and test for radon often.
