Thanks for the article. I knew that many commercial cleaners can be irritants and most are not especially healthy for you, but formaldehyde? Good to know! Better to go with green cleaning solutions.

To measure radiation, you will need an insturment designed for that purpose. We use a Ludlum 19,a PM1703 gamma dosimeter, and Arrowtech gamma dosimeters.

We also provide film badges for homeowners that want to test their own granite for radiation. Place the film badges on the grantie for a week, and then mail them back to the lab. The lab will analyze the badges and prepare a report giving the radiation exposure.

The article states citrus oils but then later specifically only says “lemon”. I’m assuming this applies to orange based cleaners as well?

My can of air freshener was making me sick. I discovered that formaldehyde content was the problem. Now I just open the window.

The point of this article is quite simple, the MIA attacked this author and she replied with information from a Radon researcher that proved the MIA’s study was a dog and pony show.

Stay tuned for more. The science is being done, some of it is complete and nearing publication in a scientific journal. Bottom line is that some granites DO raise homes Radon levels.

Rather than fight the obvious, you granite guys would be better served if the hotter granites were removed from the market.
