Air Sampling Methods Ineffective in Detecting Toxic Chinese Drywall

GAINESVILLE, Fla., May 22 /PRNewswire/ -- A leading forensic expert on
building envelope water intrusion and toxic mold, Spiderman Mulholland, and
his forensic division at U.S. Building Consultants, Inc. has determined that
air sampling is not an effective method for determining the presence of toxic
Chinese drywall corrosions.

Although air sampling may indicate some levels of sulfur compounds in homes,
the measuring tool is unreliable unless it is used as an aid to a more
conclusive testing method.

"My forensics division is now in the final stages of developing a
comprehensive protocol for inspection and remediation for the drywall crisis
that is currently impacting 41 states," said Mulholland.

Chinese drywall may have been installed in more than 100,000 homes between
2001 and 2006 throughout the nation during the hype of the building boom after
hurricanes Wilma and Katrina dried up the domestic drywall supplies.

Mulholland has said that his laboratory analysis has indicated 11 sulfur
compounds and contaminants including, sulfur acid, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen
sulfide. Prolonged exposure may cause serious problems to the nervous system.

Given the rise of complaints by homeowners in South Florida, it is believed
that a large percentage of the homes built during that time frame may contain
Chinese drywall.

Physical evidence includes HVAC-unit and electrical appliance failures, black
copper coils, corroded electrical wiring, tarnished silver jewelry or utensils
and light bulbs burning out at a faster rate.

Although the foul-smell of rotten eggs in a home could indicate a
toxic-drywall problem, Mulholland's investigations show that is not always the
case.

Mulholland's company, US Building Consultants Inc., has an accredited testing
facility that can determine toxic-drywall problems. He inspects, consults and
has been retained as an expert in Chinese drywall cases.
