Q: does my granite counter top increase my risk for lung cancer? i've had the granite for 14 years and i'm concerned now for my family and i! advice please?

: Short answer is no. The risk described is for workers that end up inhaling silica dust for years, I am not aware of any risk for households having granite countertops.
