Chinese Drywall not radioactive after all

August 24th, 2009. By AbiK

We recently posted about some early news reports that indicated Chinese drywall could potentially be radioactive—luckily for folks who’ve been suffering through the defective drywall debacle, the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida State Department of Health—both of whom were asked to test the drywall by the US Consumer Safety Commission—found no unusual levels of radioactivity in the drywall.

According to The Miami Herald (8/22/09), traces of radioactive material were found, but they were not at levels that would be any higher “than found in the natural environment”.

Good news, but perhaps a moot point anyway if you’ve already been forced out of your home.
