I found this very interesting on snopes. If you have granite countertops, you may want to get them checked.

Oh, my...and we just finished our new kitchen with granite counter tops! I forwarded the Snopes article to my Engineer husband. I'll let him research this one.
Thanx for the posting.

Not a problem. I hope your counters are safe.

MMM, I found this very interesting and have been mulling it over since I first read it. I wonder, what do you do if your granite emits the gas? Rip them out, I think not. Vent it in someway? I'm going to purchase a tester and see if my granite is responsible for my foggy brain.d'oh

I wonder if there's building codes for this. I'm not sure what would happen.
