Chinese drywall worse than you can imagine
 

This topic is a good example of scare-mongering and mass-hysteria, without
scientific evidence. I googled for "chinese drywall quality tests".

There are no government tests that show any detrimental effect of Chinese
drywall. There was one test performed by the Florida State Government in
April: http://www.mysuncoast.com/Global/story.asp?S=10514797 There were
not tests performed by the nih (National Institute of Health).

You find mostly ambulance chasers (attorneys), though, who are trying to
create another victimless class-action suit.

Why are people so gullible? The only hard drives you can buy are built in
China, not in the US.

"... foul odors seeping from walls. Hundreds of homeowners, most in
Florida, have reported corrosion to their air conditioners, mirrors,
electrical outlets and even jewelry."

We knew, or suspected most of that. But check this:

"Some Chinese experts, however, suspect that the culprit is a RADIOACTIVE
phosphorus substance - phosphogypsum - that is banned for construction use
in the U.S. but has been used by Chinese manufacturers for almost a
decade."

Fortunately, much of this Chinese drywall was used during the housing boom
to accommodate zero-down-payment, sub-prime mortgage holders.
