As another columnist wrote earlier this month, the Chinese drywall disaster is still developing in the southeast. Shipments totaling 550 million pounds of the defective drywall have entered the country since 2006, the last shipment of which being as recently as last month. That’s enough drywall for 60,000 complete homes – but realistically the number of homes is much greater since drywall in homes often come from different sources. The scope of the damage is still only preliminary, and health risks associated with living in these homes has also not been completely understood.
