Chinese dry-wall in Mississippi was largely installed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, when a short supply of American-manufactured drywall was unavailable. Chinese dry wall was thought to be the solution, until serious problems began turning up. The problems with Chinese drywall include the following:

• Chinese dry-wall emits sulfur dioxide, carbon disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, strontium sulfide and carbonyl sulfide in a gas form, which is believed to cause a wide variety of material, environmental and health problems.
• The Consumer Product Safety Commission has identified strong associations between Chinese drywall, hydrogen sulfide and the corrosion of metals.
• Sulfur dioxide corrodes electrical wiring (especially copper), waterlines (such as those leading to refrigerators), faucets, circuit breakers, smoke detectors and air conditioner coils.
• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, through its federal Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry (ATSDR), advises doctors to look for symptoms that include eye irritation, sore throat, stuffy nose, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea and headaches after short term exposure to Chinese drywall.

According to the ATSDR, longer-term exposure can result in fatigue, loss of appetite, irritability, poor memory, dizziness and insomnia. The effects on health are still being studied, but people who have asthma, children, the elderly and people with heart and lung diseases seem to be more affected by the sulfur dioxide gases.
