Interesting, I didn’t know.

> The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says most granite countertops are safe, adding little to a house's radon level. It depends on the rock that is used, the agency says, recommending that homeowners concerned about radon get their countertops tested."

		>Radon I live in a high-radon part of the world (Appalachia), and there are so many more benefits to having an ERV[0] than just getting rid of toxic gasses (handles farts, too!). Worth every penny — one will remove stink from the entire 1000sqft house (including indoor cat litterbox), with partial heat/humidity recovery.

In terms of radiation?

		Not sure about radiation, but I once tried to boil an egg in the microwave and the microwave exploded. For a second, I thought the chicken had secretly developed human-level intelligence and planted an explosive inside the egg to get back at those stealing its babies. That was my "wow" moment. Then my dad confirmed it was my fault and compared my intelligence to the chicken's.
