Sorry to say, it may not be just Chinese drywall...

I actually worked the Cardinal plant installation. Among a few electricians we'd say, why put it in the air when you can put it in people's houses. :ashamed1:

The sulfur dioxide combines with the limestone to form gypsum. That's in the article. What isn't in the article is that for every molecule of gypsum produced, one molecule of CO2 is also produced.

We are an electrical contractor in Florida. Have three homes on the same block that wires have become black in the panel
We have had the power company out and it is not from their work.
The homeowners are concerned and want an answer to this issue
Thank you for any suggestions!

3 houses built around the same time almost guarantees Chinese drywall.
