Corrosive Chinese Drywall – What is the Problem
Filed in Chinese Drywall Videos on Jan.28, 2011
Chinese drywall was found by Lawrence Berkley National Laboratories to emit hydrogen sulfide up to 100 times greater than non-Chinese produced drywall. Hydrogen sulfide is a hazardous gas which, in high concentrations, can be fatal. There is also a strong association between hydrogen sulfide and metal corrosion. See CPSC list of drywall manufacturers whose drywall has been found to emit the high levels of hydrogen sulfide. Analytical testing of Chinese drywall samples have revealed strontium sulfide, although there remains disagreement regarding whether strontium is a valid marker for Chinese drywall.
