NEW!

• Concerned about your granite countertops? ScanTech has had years of experience in this area - long before the recent concern over elevated levels of radioactivity. We have purchased new equipment so as to specifically target this issue.

 

• HOW CLEAN IS YOUR FAMILY'S WATER? Drinking water testing for TDL (Total Dissolved Solids) and advanced testing for bacteria, heavy metals, pesticides and nitrates.

 

• NEW INFORMATION ON HYBRIDS! We have had inquiries as to the EMF levels put out by Hybrid / Electric Vehicles. We have now actually studied a hybrid for AC / DC magnetic, electric and RF fields and the results were very interesting. We cannot conclude that the particular year, make and model is representative of all such vehicles (either electric or hybrid) so it may be worth getting yours tested if you are concerned. The cost is relatively inexpensive.

 

• ENERGY SAVING SERVICE AVAILABLE - How much are you really paying for your electricity every hour? In most cases, we can wirelessly read from your meter while isolating breakers to figure out exactly what appliance or circuit is costing you the most money and suggesting improvements that will pay off several times the cost of the survey in a short amount of time!

 

• New equipment has expanded our capabilities in RF and AC Electric Field measurements!

 

For larger projects we can be engaged on a national or international level as described below.

We also offer prepaid phone consultations for commerical projects where travel expenses would be unnecessary or prohibitive. Call for details.

GRANITE COUNTERTOPS & RADIOACTIVITY FAQ

Q. Are granite or other natural stone countertops / tile / flooring a health hazard?

A. Possibly. (see below for more detail)

Most granite, marble and many other types of stone do contain noticeably higher levels of radiation. How much more depends on exactly how the stone was formed, where it was quarried from and the types of mineral inclusions that are present.

What constitutes a health hazard is a material with enough additional radioactivity beyond normal to elevate medical risk. To some extent this is subject to conjecture, and while ScanTech does not advocate fearmongering, we also believe that a consumer has a right to an informed choice as to what they and their familes are exposed to.

 

Q. What is background radiation?

A. Ionizing background radiation is everywhere - in the earth, from the sun, exposure to medical X-Rays, high altitude commerical flights will increase your dosage of cosmic rays, etc. Unless you want to live in a lead lined vault, you cannot reasonably get away from all forms of radiation.

 

Q. What levels are typical?

A. Normal background radiation levels vary from 0.03 - 0.26 microSieverts per hour. (a tissue radiation dosage measurement)

 

Q. What levels are dangerous?

A. From the limited research I have done, 50 milliSieverts per year is convservatively the lowest dose at which there is any discernable, elevated risk of cancer in adults. In my own NON-MEDICAL OPINION, I would consider 16 X normal background levels as being the threshold of concern.

This would translate to approximately 1.92 microSieverts per hour. In general, any radiation not used for specific and medical purposes in a controlled fashion isn't healthy, but there is the concept of comparative risk.

 

Q. How long and how much experience do have in measuring granite samples?

A. For several years I have been aware that granite had higher than normal levels. I was first hired out for a formal study a few years ago and since then I have served dozens of clients in this arena.

 

Q. What levels are you finding in granite and other natural stone samples?

A. So far I have gotten up to 0.80 microSievert per hour which is more than 3 X background. But according to others who have done more extensive studies, they are finding up to 3 % of the stone they have tested are 100 X normal. (which is well above the threshold of concern that I noted above)

 

Q. Do you consider this a reason for concern - enough to pay for a survey?

A. While the odds are against you buying a large quantity of a dangerous rock, I have found that my clientele are more than happy to pay the relatively small fee of testng in exchange for peace of mind.
