Do granite countertops emit radiation

Yes, granite countertops do emit radiation, but the levels are very low and not considered harmful to human health. In fact, many natural materials found in the Earth's crust, including soil and rocks, contain trace amounts of radioactive elements like uranium, thorium, and potassium. Granite, being a naturally occurring stone, also contains these elements but the levels are too low to cause any harm. Therefore, there is no need to worry about radiation from granite countertops and they are perfectly safe to use in your home.
