Niagara Gold Sent out To the Radon Lab

Posted in Recent Info on the testing effort by Administrator on the August 11th, 2008

We recieved a request by a Radon lab last week for a sample of hot granite. We had a section of Niagara Gold ready, around 220 uR/hr Gamma, and a 12″ square of Bordeaux that measured around 120 uR/hr or so.

The lab owner was a bit skeptical of this testing effort but once he heard the names of the researchers and Radon labs working behind the scenes, he was ready to look into the claims. We shipped him a 15″ x 18″ slab and a 12″ x 12″ slab to test.

The MIA has these guys linked to on their website as a fair and balanced source of information on Radon in granite countertops. Hopefully when it comes out that the lab is testing, the MIA will leave the link up. If not, that will very telling as to the MIA’s motives.
