So when you are out of the house for 30 days why do you start to feel better?
The builder "Lennar" is adamant that we do not have "Chinese" or "Toxic" drywall but will not release air quality report to us. In fact, they told the company who did the test not to talk to us or release any info and refused to comment on the report any further in writing. Just like it never happened.
But we are still sick. Every morning or at night our sense of smell is so screwed up and our sinus infections are so bad we would throw up. In the kitchen, walking towards the bedroom or sitting in the office working. We would start gagging, our throats would close then puke.
I really want to know if my wife's or my olfactory senses will every work again.

Builders' study of Chinese drywall criticized
Check out this article by Aaron Kessler on The Herald Tribune
After ready the article and if you have a lab test specifically the way you tell them you will probably get the results you did during the previous test. So much for independant 3rd party testing companies.

What happens to the toxic houses when they are foreclosed on?
Has anyone asked "What happens to the toxic houses when they are foreclosed on?"
The answer is yes, and there are groups fighting to get the banks to stopped patching the testing holes, painting and putting them on the market with NO DISCLOSURE. Most states don't require the banks to disclosure anything about the home because they did not live in it. They do a home inspection but do not make the info available to the prospective Buyers especially if it includes mold or toxic drywall.
As-Is is the phrase and you will sign a waiver or rights relieving the bank of any liability concerning the home moving forward. You buy it, you get sick, your problem.
In Nevada, the banks are not required to fill out a SRPD or a Sellers Real Property Disclosure and force Buyers to Waive their rights by Notarizing a NRS 113. When I say force, I mean if you want to buy the property you have to sign it. You can walk away so technically you are not forced to sign it but you are not allowed to any "destructive testing on the home" but can have a home inspector. Most home inspectors are not "Acredited Toxic Drywall" Experts. Getting the home tested will cost you more money but when you are considering a purchase in the hundreds of thousands is a $500 test out of the question?
If you are buying a house in foreclosure in Nevada that was built between 2002 - 2008 knowing what we know now have it tested..

I read in a recent on drywallfacts.com by National Gypsum...
I read in a recent on drywallfacts.com by National Gypsum about decay rates and the higher the humidity the faster these toxins disappear. What if you have 10% or 15% humidity not 50% or 90% humidity like Florida does?
Where does that leave homeowners in Las Vegas during the summer when it is 115 degrees outside, dry and baking the drywall inside the ceiling board where our Georgia Pacific ToughRock is located or our wall board made by National Gypsum that tested positive. What about the decay rates?
No humidity, we had sporadic electrical failures over six years, lighting issues and other wiring related issues and we got sicker and sicker leaving doctors baffled. Undiagnosed Hives for 5 years? Lost your voice, growths on your vocal cords, surgery, massive sinus infections, bloody noses day after day. Gold turning your fingers black mid air as well as your ears.... soot like.
Decay rates.... CPSC isn't going to to pursue any more health studies concerning toxic drywall because there are no health related effects. Are you kidding me?
A expert that has been testing homes in Las Vegas, NV for the past two years said that 70% of all homes are testing positive. That will topple any numbers Florida is putting out if those peoples claims are taken seriously and the builders are put on notice. There were more new homes built in Las Vegas during the shortage years and they did bring in a lot of materials in. The builders do have allot of clout in Las Vegas and in the court system. Attorneys will not take on cases against builders or banks just because they won't take on cases they know they can't win.
