				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> As if we all didn&#8217;t have enough to worry about!  Radon,  a dangerous radioactive element,  has been <a href="http://theater2.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/garden/24granite.html">found in some granite countertops</a>.</p>
<p> From the New York Times:</p>
<blockquote><p> Where to Find Tests and Testers</p>
<p> To find a certified technician to determine whether radiation or radon is emanating from a granite countertop,  homeowners can contact the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (aarst.org).  Testing costs between $100 to $300.  </p>
<p> Information on certified technicians and do-it-yourself radon testing kits is available from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Web site at <a href="http://www.epa.gov/radon">epa.gov/radon</a>,  as well as from state or regional indoor air environment offices,  which can be found at <a href="http://www.epa.gov/iaq/whereyoulive.html">epa.gov/iaq/whereyoulive.html</a>.  Kits test for radon,  not radiation,  and cost $20 to $30.  They are sold at hardware stores and online.
