There are many studies done by scientist from around the world that prove the emission of Radon from granite or address the high radiation levels of some granites. Below are a few.

The Cyprus study The Egyptian study The Saudi Arabian study The Chinese study In a few days, I'll post a critique of each study, pointing out the points of interest for each study.
