Can Natural Stone Contain Radioactive Substances Cause Cancer?

Consumers are often afraid to use stone when purchasing building materials because they have heard too many fallacies and rumors. But the stone has witnessed the development of human civilization, from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic, and then to the cave to learn to live. If the stones were harmful to the human body, human beings would have been extinct long ago! So now it has been widely circulated that radioactive substances in natural stones can cause cancer. Does the stone really contain excessive radioactive substances, will it endanger human health?

The answer to this question has been tested and researched by experts. It has been proved that natural stones are metamorphic rocks formed by the action of high temperature and high pressure in the earth's crust, or igneous rocks formed by the condensation of magma below the surface. It is essentially a part of the earth. The content of radioactive material is close to that of soil. Most natural stones are harmless to humans.

In response to this problem, professionals also released the "China Natural Marble White Paper (2013)", which clarified the statement that natural stone radioactivity exceeding the standard will cause cancer.

Moreover, in China's current marble product standards, entry inspection and quarantine, building decoration engineering and building materials products, there is no requirement to detect the radioactivity of natural stone products, which means that it does not cause harm to the human body, does not require testing and can be used safely.

Under the impact of a series of rumors that natural marble can cause cancer and that stone has radiation, a formula has been formed in people's minds: natural stone environment ≠ healthy living environment. However, the rumors stop with the wise. The inherent energy of natural stone in health preservation is being slowly explored by human beings.

The hot stone physiotherapy commonly used in advanced spa clubs uses the earth energy of natural stone to heat the body, which can dredge the meridians and promote metabolism.

In some countries, some designers also apply marble to gyms and living rooms. The living room is made of natural stone, from the decoration to the fitness equipment to the bathing place. The fitness environment of this natural stone is natural and beneficial to health. Besides living places, decorations made of natural stone are also very popular.
