Baltic Brown granite is one of those stones that needs testing. It can be found at low levels (12 to 13 uR/hr), but it can also be found at higher levels (up to 50 uR/hr). However too few slabs have been tested, so the current advice is to test all slabs before purchase. All stones have some level of Radon coming out. Baltic Brown could go either way, but I would bet it is most likely to be low. You have to test to be sure.
