Toxic Chinese Drywall

Consider some toxic Chinese drywall problems: People and their families living suffer from respiratory infections, sore throats, ear aches, and nose bleeds. A persistent sulfur smell wafts through the air turning all indoor metals and jewelry black while negatively impacting the plumbing, electrical wires, and A/C units which can turn into fire hazards.

Who can live with this emotional and physical nightmare?

And the financial impact is staggering. Homeowners cannot live in their houses. Homeowners cannot pay for their houses and many homeowners are going bankrupt while their homes are not up for resale.

The domino effect keeps going downhill as some insurance companies are no longer insuring houses with toxic Chinese drywall.

According to China's customs, there is no special inspection of exported drywall. One of many companies shipped almost 38 million pounds of drywall to the United States in 2006. Chinese drywall is made with mined gypsum or phosphogypsum because it's a cheap, a readily available material - and it may be radioactive.

Phosphogypsum contains radium. Prolonged exposure can lead to a higher risk of lung cancer, which is why the EPA banned phosphogypsum for use in construction in 1989.

Others argue that the health effects of phosphogympsum are unknown and cancer causing is inconclusive.

There are no simple solutions and the problems only keep growing.
