Secondly, the marble radioactivity detection indicators are extremely small and can be completely ignored. In the national standard 'Limits of Radionuclides in Building Materials' (GB6566-2010), decoration materials including marble are divided into three categories: A, B, and C. The natural radionuclides radium-226, thorium-232, and potassium- The radioactive specific activity of 40 meets the requirements of IRa (internal exposure index) ≤ 1.0 and Iγ (external exposure index) ≤ 1.3 at the same time as Class A, and its production, marketing and use range is not restricted; Class B and C have lower requirements. The radioactivity index of natural marble is about 0.02, which is similar to soil, only one-fifth of the national standard Class A index, which is completely negligible, and its value is far superior to other commonly used decorative materials. In my country's current marble product standards 'Natural Marble Blocks' (JC/T202-2011) and 'Natural Marble Building Slabs' (GB/T19766-2005), there is no mandatory test for the radioactivity of marble products, indicating that it does not need to be tested.

Natural marble: Since bathroom cabinets are generally not too large and do not need to be shaped, the use of natural marble does not require seaming and bonding, and the bathroom There will be no oil stains in the cabinet, so the shortcomings of natural marble that cannot be jointed and penetrated do not exist in the application of bathroom countertops. Therefore, natural marble can be selected for bathroom countertops with simple shapes.
