Sulfur-Emitting Chinese Drywall Blamed for Problems in U.S. Homes

Shannon Schulz stands in the kitchen of her St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, home April 14, 2009. The contractor who renovated the home after Hurricane Katrina used Chinese drywall, which the family believes is now causing problems. Many homeowners are reporting corroding copper pipes and wiring, blackened jewelry and silverware, and possibly adverse health effects. Some officials believe the only way to solve the problems is to remove the walls, studs, and wiring. (UPI Photo/A.J. Sisco)
