The latest environmental concern for homeowners appears to be Chinese drywall installed in the US between 2004 and 2007. During these years, gulf coast states experienced significant property damage from tropical storms, with damage to Florida being particularly severe. This created a shortage of sheetrock or drywall, and material was imported to meet consumer demand. Some imported Chinese drywall emits a foul odor, causes plumbing to corrode and may be a health risk. While Chinese drywall was sold in North Carolina, the quantities were very small. As you will read below, 96% of all distribution took place in six states.
