as if the housing market doesn't have enough to worry about. imported Chinese wallboard is toxic. to you and your home. best way to tell is smell it. if it smells like sulphur you got it. insurance won't cover. tuff stuff. it can eat plastic from electrical wiring and turns copper black. so if you or anyone you know is buying a new/used home alert them

PARKLAND, Fla. — At the height of the U.S. housing boom, when building materials were in short supply, American construction companies used millions of pounds of Chinese-made drywall because it was abundant and cheap.

The drywall apparently causes a chemical reaction that gives off a rotten-egg stench, which grows worse with heat and humidity.
