Health Issues Associated with Contaminated Drywall
December 6, 2011
“With respect to public health, CDC/ATSDR believes that preventing continued exposure to reactive sulfur gases is the best method to address problem drywall. We support the CPSC and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recommendations for remediation that “consumers replace all problem drywall; smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms; electrical distribution components, including receptacles, switches and circuit breakers, but not necessarily wiring; and fusible-type fire sprinkler heads.”
(Statement of Christopher J. Portier, PhD, Director, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry )
