Foreign-made Chinese
Drywall was imported into the U.S.
as a result of the housing boom, and the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina, when the demand for drywall exceeded the available supply from
US manufacturers. Initial detection involved the release of noxious
sulfur odors which were exacerbated by heat and humidity. Emissions
from the contaminated Chinese drywall caused corrosion of metals,
including silver and copper, damage to chrome, brass and silver and
electrical systems to name a few.
While the actual health risk to humans has yet to be completely
defined, potential health concerns include insomnia, nosebleeds,
headaches, and breathing difficulties . Updates will be
given during the webinar.
Using
science rather than emotion, Dr. Manis will investigate the actual
health effects, present current science, including the results of
extensive US
governmental research efforts of the EPA, the CPSC, the CDC and the
ATSDR, coupled with findings of the German research team. You’ll learn
how chemistry, testing costs and detection methodologies present
enormous challenges to the development of appropriate remediation
protocols.
