Imagine. Your brand new home is making you sick from the sulfur gases coming from the sheetrock walls! The sulfur gases are corroding your electrical wiring and AC coil. You have to evacuate. Your builder says it is the sheetrock or drywall manufacturer's fault. The manufacturer says it isn't, that the builder is desperate. The builder says the sulfur is not harmful. You are experiencing health problems.
The story is certainly similar to discovering you're living in a high electrical field, from electrical power lines or cell phone tower, which has worn down your immune system making you sick. The cell phone and power company don't believe there is a link between EMFs and illness. Further, they claim the strength of the electrical field is within government safety standards. You realize you now have disturbing symptoms when around electricity.
These scenarios have some things in common...the cause is invisible and not recognized as harmful, and the responsible party, utility or governing authority says it's not harmful. Invisible harmful electromagnetic radiation. Invisible harmful chemicals. How lucky the people with Chinese drywall are they could "smell" the problem. What if the drywall didn't smell? What if it emitted a chemical or energy that wasn't outwardly detectable?
In the case of the drywall, the sulfur is detectable and the Builder is denying it is harmful to humans. How is it possible for sulfur gases that actually corrode air conditioning coils, electrical wiring, mechanical equipment and belt buckles to not harm humans?
Toxic China made drywall injures hundreds of Florida new homeowners
West Palm Beach, FL (JusticeNewsFlash.com) January 24, 2009 –
The Florida Department of Health has already received over 39 complaints from homeowners throughout the state of Florida in Manatee, Sarasota, Pinellas, St. Lucie, Collier and Lee counties stating the drywall, in their homes, is causing serious damages and injuries. Many of the homes were manufactured by builders like Lennar and Taylor Morrison who used drywall manufactured in China. According to the Lakewood Ranch Herald, the drywall made in China, is producing foul smells, corroding mechanical appliances and home fixtures plus causing health problems with respiratory symptoms. Many home customers have experienced problems with their air conditioners.
According to Lennar executives, repair men discovered the source of the problem was the dry wall. The China manufactured drywall emits a sulfur compound causing the AC coils and copper to corrode and fail. Homeowners have reported tarnishing of clothing hardware like belt buckles. Jewelry, mirrors, picture frames, and light fixtures have also reportedly been tarnishing. Computers have required repair and several families have reported sudden onset of chronic “colds” in their kids lasting for months at a time.
Lennar has recently provided temporary housing for homeowners suffering from the toxic sulfur emitting dry wall. Construction consultants are urging homeowners to not allow the builders to repair the homes before the air quality and damages can be adequately evaluated. These suggestions were a result of Lennar refusing to allow residents access to the results of the air quality tests done by ENVIRON International. The home builder has told residents the sulfur compound, found in the contaminated homes, is far below the most stringent government health and safety standards.
Apparently homeowners in other states including, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas and California have also reported problems with their drywall. Lennar is a nationwide new home builder in the United States.
