The Causes of the Chinese Drywall Problem

Since December 22, 2008, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has received more than 365 reports of health problems or corrosion of metal pipes due to Chinese drywall from residents in 18 states and Washington D.C. The majority of the reports come from homes which were built in 2006 – 2007.

The most common health problems that are being reported to the United States government include irritated and itchy eyes and skin, difficulty in breathing, persistent cough, bloody noses, runny noses, recurrent headaches, sinus infection, and asthma attacks. Other potentially serious problems include the eroding of metal pipes which could lead to electrical and fire safety issues.

The residential construction industry was booming in 2006 -2007. Parts of the country were rebuilding after devastating natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and people believed that the economy was stable and so they built homes. With that housing boom, however, came a shortage of building materials in this country and construction companies began to import drywall from China in order to finish their construction projects.

What is Causing the Problem?

Now, just a few years later, there is evidence that some people who live in homes with Chinese drywall are getting sick. The United States government is still investigating the causes of the Chinese drywall problem. Some possible reasons for the problem include the fumigants used on the drywall and the fact that Chinese drywall is made from a coal byproduct called fly ash that is less refined than that which is used in drywall manufactured in the United States.

Several state Departments of Health are also investigating the problem. A preliminary report from the Florida Department of Health showed the presence of volatile sulfur compounds which could be leading to the corrosion of pipes and possibly health problems.

While, the state and federal governments continue their investigations real people are faced with difficult choices. Do they stay in their new homes or do they walk away to protect their family’s health? And, if they walk away will they be able to afford to live somewhere else?
