A pink granite inspection table here where I work comes up radioavtive when read with
a gieger counter. The Geiger counter says beta emissions are coming from this table. When I scan the gray granite table the geiger counter reads almost nothing.
Note: I don't know the level of radiation. The geiger was not mine.
I think the potassium feldspar in the Pink granite table must be source of the emissions?
Questions:
1. If it is the potassium, what isotope could it be?
2. If its not potassium then what could it be?
3. Can it hurt us
