In my opinion, Build Clean was trying to show Radon emission to get people talking about the issues. I think that people realize that none of us have kitchens in plastic boxes and that scale wise their demostration is lacking. It is a chink in their armour, but I don’t think they were trying to fool anyone, nor was anyone fooled.

As to her funding, Cosintino is one of the largest stone companies there is, selling natural stone decades before the engineered products came on the market. Why does everyone seem to forget that? All of Silestone and Cambria’s products were tested as well, and I sent both companies samples to a third party physicist for Gamma Spectrometry testings as well.

Dr. Chyi has been taken to task severly on this blog site. What is more, he refuses to answer the simplest questions on his “study”. I have little problem with his methods and results, but lots of problems with the samples chosen, the conclusions, and comments that accompany the study.

And, let’s remember who funded Dr. Chyi. The MIA paid for that unpublished “study”.

Tonight I’ll point out some serious flaws in Dr. Chyi’s work, for now realize that a short term reading in a plastic box is different from Chyi’s method of using a sealed bucket in a long term test. Chyi will get higher readings, but in essecense the test methods are simiular.

Thanks for the comments, would love to hash this out with someone that has a professional interest in the issue.
