Concerns about Radon from Granite Countertop:
- Recently there has been much press about granite countertops emitting radon into the indoor air in the home. As every home should be tested for radon in general, if it is a concern when you have granite countertops, the EPA Protocols should be followed for testing the home and an area near the countertops can be tested at the same time to compare the results. AARST has developed a protocol to follow if this is a concern. Call us for further details or to have your home tested.
