Chinese Drywall Testing
We are currently offering air and bulk sample analysis in support of characterization efforts by both private consultants and regulatory agencies relating to Chinese drywall.
 |
We have developed legally-defensible analytical methodologies to accurately measure the following compounds in ambient air at concentrations as low as 5 parts per billion by volume (ppbv)–
- Hydrogen Sulfide
- Carbonyl Sulfide
- Methyl Mercaptan
- Ethyl Mercaptan
- Dimethyl Sulfide
- Carbon Disulfide
- Isopropyl Mercaptan
- tert-Butyl Mercaptan
- n-Propyl Mercaptan
- Ethyl Methyl Sulfide
- Thiophene
- Isobutyl Mercaptan
- n-Butyl Mercaptan
- Diethyl Sulfide
- 3-Methyl Thiophene
- Tetrahydrothiophene
- Dimethyl Disulfide
- 2-Ethyl Thiophene
- Diethyl Disulfide
- 2,5-Dimethyl Thiophene
We are currently providing analytical support to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)-United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC), the Florida Department of Health (FDOH), and private consultants as they characterize the presence and/or concentrations of these compounds in ambient air within private residences. The residences currently under investigation contain or are suspected to contain drywall manufactured in China and other locales known to use recycled materials from power plants in the manufacture of drywall, also known as wallboard. The status and results of efforts conducted by the USEPA-USCPSC and the FDOH can be tracked at:
