Contaminated drywall - Testing?
Just reading an article on MSNBC about a family in Mitchell SD who
had to move out of their new home because of toxicity from drywall.
Sodium Dioxide.
Is there a do it yourself way to check my newly finished shop?

It's my understanding all the suspect drywall came from china and the only reason it was brought from over seas was because new construction [fueled by katrina, etc] was using more drywall than could be produced here. There shouldn't be any problems with new drywall produced in the US or Canada - you should be fine

Opps. I should have said Sulfur Dioxide.
What I gathered from the article was that the drywall came from the USA.
And their's was one of several new homes just built........
Just wondering how a person checks for toxic fumes.

I've never heard on a US made drywall product with this issue. US companies sold it, however. Just didn't actually make it to my knowlege.
I've been in the building material business since the early 80s and I've never seen anything like this. Drywall that wull ruin your home.
