More Poison Chinese Stuff - Drywall!

Oh boy! More contaminated crap from China. This time it's drywall! According to a report by WPTV in Florida the drywall was brought in during the building boom in 2004. Apparently US drywall was just not cheap enough?

The contaminated Chinese drywall may be emitting one of several sulfur compounds including sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide. While exposure to fumes from sulfur dioxide can create irritation and breathing disorders, exposure to hydrogen sulfide can be deadly.

Exposure to 50 parts per million of hydrogen sulfide for more than ten minutes can cause extreme irritation. Inhalation of 500 to 1,000 parts per million can cause unconsciousness and death through respiratory paralysis and asphyxiation, according to environmental experts.
