Safety is paramount in every home, and at Anderson Granite & Marble Shop of Greenwood, we prioritize it above all. The myth surrounding radon emissions from granite countertops has caused undue concern among homeowners. Let’s set the record straight: scientific studies have consistently shown that granite countertops contribute negligible amounts of radon, far less than the levels typically found in the ambient air outdoors. Granite, a natural stone, has been used safely in homes for centuries, not only for its durability and beauty but also for its minimal health risk.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has confirmed that the majority of granite countertops in homes do not pose a significant health risk from radon. While it’s true that granite can contain trace amounts of uranium (which can decay to produce radon), these levels are usually inconsequential and do not impact indoor air quality significantly.
