Does coldstone ice cream check granite of radon?
This is not necessary as the granite is only a small piece and is in a well ventilated area. You would need several tons of granite to emit enough radon to be concerned about and it would have to be in an enclosed area with little ventilation.

What are the symptoms of radon granite counter top poisening?
If you are asking about Radon, there aren't any sypmtoms. You just develop some form of lung cancer. The chances are low, maybe three in 10,000 people exposed per year, and epidemiology can't really separate those cancers from normal cancer occurances unless the number of people studied is huge. Just have a whole house Radon test done and have them put one test kit or meter under a glass or metal bowl to see how much the granite is contributing to the home's radon. If you are asking about heavy metal posioning, look up the various heavy metals on the internet. Arsenic, polonium, beryilium, chromium, and lead are some of the more common toxic heavy metals found in granite. One warning, other than geologists studying average local granites, there has been no research on what is in commercially sold granites. Right now, you can sell any granite regardless of it's toxicity or radiation levels. Sad business. For more info, use the link below. We have more info and experts on this subject than anyone else. You don't really expect the stone industry to study this do you?

Do granite countertops contain mercury?
Probably not. Normally granite contains no mercury, because of the way it forms. And mercury ore (cinnabar, notably) is distinctly red and not very hard, so even if a granite deposit contained some mercury that part would likely be culled. However, granite can be somewhat porous so if any mercury got into it, say in the finishing process, it could slowly vaporize and be a potential health risk. But again, that seems unlikely. Granite does often contain uranium, and possibly other radioactive elements, which can produce radon gas. This is often a concern with natural stone. From what I understand, the health risks are not well understood.
