Faulty Chinese drywall causes corrosion, federal study says

December 1, 2009

What thousands of homeowners in South Florida and nationwide have believed about Chinese drywall was validated Monday when the Consumer Product Safety Commission said there is a link between the imported material and problems with corrosion in homes that have it. But the agency also said they don’t believe the problems are as widespread as early estimates predicted.

 

The conclusion followed testing at 51 homes in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Virginia that found “a strong association between the problem drywall, the hydrogen sulfide levels in homes with that drywall and corrosion in those homes.”

 

Homeowners have been complaining for about a year to federal and state government agencies that their homes smell of sulfur or rotten eggs, the copper in their air-conditioning units and electrical wires in their homes are corroding and that other metals are turning black. They have also reported problems breathing, headaches and nosebleeds.
