The Nation's Leader in Chinese Drywall Testing

Chinese drywall -Reactive/Problematic dryall produce a hydrogen sulfide gas that cause a multitude of problems.  The airborne hydrogen sulfide reacts with latent airborne humidity and creates a corrosive environment that reeks havoc and many common metals used in construction, most notably Copper.  Air-conditioning systems fail within a year, appliances are replaced on a regular basis, and electronics degrade rapidly.  In addition, there are some reports of house fires as a result of corroded copper wiring. 

Issues range from corrosion to severe chronic health issues.   Dozens of reports contain details about adverse health effects.  The health issues include chronic mild headaches, crippling migraines, upper respiratory illnesses, sinus infections, itchiness, rashes, insomnia, and others. 

Of greater concern, however, is that the government has identified hydrogen sulfide is hazardous to human health.  The Occupational Safety and Health Associations (OSHA) recommends that adults should not be exposed to hydrogen sulfide levels in excess of 10 ppm (parts per million) for longer than 10 minutes.
