"[WASHINGTON] Federal product-safety regulators said Thursday that their
sampling of Chinese drywall emits higher concentrations of sulfur gases and
strontium than U.S.-made product, but found no evidence so far that the
emissions were to blame for health problems and metal corrosion reported by
at least 1,900 U.S. homeowners."

Who to believe? The government or your own watery eyes?

Both. I'd say it points to a need to get beyond anti Chinese bigotry and
look at what else may be in common in the problem houses in question.

One major bit of commonality: the houses were occupied by living, breathing
humans.

Like cows emit methane, homo sapiens emits hydrogen sulfide, and kitty
litter emits ammonia. Has anyone tracked down the emissions of the
ubiquitous 'palmetto bugs' that Floridians live with?
Endless possibilities...
