I brought my 2 and 4 year old to a granite slab warehouse to pick our countertop. they were in for about 10 mins. now i'm worried about radiation?!

Wouldn't worry about: We are all subject to gamma radiation continuously from the sun.It passes through walls and the earth. It is part of life. We are also exposed continuously to radio wave we never see and chance emission from our surroundings. It doesn't alter the lifespan of us earthlings much.I consider the risk negligible.
