New Drywall Remediation Guidelines
September 24th, 2011 | 
Author: In December 2009, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released a Consumer Alert warning homeowners and builders of potential health problems associated with drywall imported from China. The FTC had received complaints of everything from itchy eyes and a rotten egg smell to early or accelerated corrosion of metal components in homes containing imported drywall. A study of the drywall was conducted, and the results supported complaints received by the FTC. In response, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released recommendations for dealing with the drywall. Earlier this year, however, the CPSC released updated recommendations that could save homeowners and property managers some money.
Previously, the CPSC recommended that not only the imported drywall be removed, but also electrical components that had been in contact with the drywall. The concern was that, because the components had been in contact with the drywall, which contained chemicals that accelerated corrosion, the components were at risk of continued deterioration that could lead to safety hazards like electrical sparks and fires. Potentially affected components included electrical circuit breakers, switches and distribution components, gas and possibly water pipes, sprinkler heads, electrical wiring and certain HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) components.
The updated guidelines still call for removal of the drywall, certain electrical components and “fusible-type fire sprinkler heads.” However, the CPSC is no longer concerned about the drywall’s effect on electrical wiring, HVAC components, or gas or water pipes – though it recommends having those items inspected just to be safe. The guidelines also recommend replacing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. In addition, because it is difficult to determine which panels of drywall were imported and which are safe, the CPSC is still recommending that ALL drywall be replaced in homes identified as containing problem drywall.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Great post!
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Very cool stuff. Do you do any guest posting on other blogs?
