Where is the story on tainted granite counter tops?

Question

On 07/24/08 (A.M.) I read a story off of Yahoo News on granite counter tops possibly retaining some health issues.

Answer 1

The health issue affects only some granites, apparently, and is related to elevated levels of radon. The article I saw this morning (Thursday) was in the New York Times. See link below.

Here's some information about various types of solid countertops:
