There are more and more indoor pollution cases caused by careless decoration, especially the many claims about "marble has terrible radioactivity" that make many people afraid. Yuling Chen, a professor and geological expert at Chengdu University of Technology who has been working in radiology for nearly 30 years, said in an interview with reporters yesterday that natural honed travertine tile is too wrong and should be rehabilitated.

    Professor Yuling said that the claim that natural honed travertine tile has higher radioactivity is actually a misunderstanding, and most people do not know much about its radioactivity. Gu Yongzhen told reporters that marble is actually marble, which is made of limestone in sedimentary rock that has undergone high temperature and pressure and other external factors. It is mainly composed of calcite and dolomite particles. The actual test results for many years show that the radioactivity of calcite and dolomite is generally very low, and the radioactivity of honed travertine tile metamorphic from limestone with very low radioactivity is also very low, so it can be used with confidence.

"The high radioactivity should be part of the artificial marble!" Professor Gu Yongzhen said. According to Professor Gu, artificial marble is made of natural honed travertine tile and sometimes crushed granite as fillers, cement, gypsum and unsaturated polyester resin as adhesives, which are formed by mixing, grinding and polishing. This kind of stone is rich in harmful gases. The radioactivity level of artificial marble depends on the amount of granite filler and its own radioactivity and the radioactivity of cement gypsum, while the harmful gas mainly depends on the amount of volatile substances such as formaldehyde and benzene contained in the adhesive. Gu Yongzhen also emphasized that gray granite is generally not a big problem, while red is generally more free. Artificial marble should be added to cement. After cement is fired, a certain amount of ash should be added, while some low-quality coal will have higher ash. Radioactivity. At the same time, there is gypsum in artificial marble. If it is not handled well, it will have higher radioactivity.
