What About Those Granite Countertops? Could They Contain Radon?

Gary, exactly my thoughts. Apparently there was some concern brought up last month because some of the granite is considered, "hot." 

Lizette, really! You're absolutely right! BUT, now you're equipped with the information. I've had them for six years, and I'm still okay. It appears that the odds are against heavy doses of radon, but why not get a kid in case. Just take it when you pick out your rock. ;-)

Suzi, you know how you hear rumors online - the ridiculous ones? Well, just check out snopes.com to see if they're true.....now you know. ;-)

Barbara, I think that you'll probably see the home inspectors coming onboard with the tools to test. Guess we're held to a higher standard now, huh?

Renee, who knows....??? Or the home inspectors will be purchasing a kit to figure it out. ;-)

Bill, I had never heard of this prior to the email I received. It's definitely something about which we, as a Realtor, need to be aware. ;-)

Debbie, you're right about it "is always something."  It's like the medications they give us and then later find out that people die from them....;-) I love my granite countertops as well, and I'm still healthy....cough, cough. ;-)

Hey Chuck, good idea. ;-) Sure it wasn't your dentist?

Rosalinda, well, now that you know, you can check out that kit on snopes.com above mentioned. ;-)

Sharon, either did I until I did the research. Now that we know it's of concern, we need to make sure we provide that information to our customers/clients. Good idea to do the research. ;-)
