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. -- Walter www.rationality.net - "HeyBub" wrote in message ... "... 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." http://www.palmbeachpost.com/busines...06drywall.html Fortunately, much of this Chinese drywall was used during the housing boom to accommodate zero-down-payment, sub-prime mortgage holders. |
