Foreman Messages, Articles, Reports, Interim Guidelines, Lab Results, or Information expressed, provided, discussed, or mentioned, is either intended to educate, inform, sell, promote, endorse, explain, or provide services to the Consumer, who has already been victimized, violated, and in general ... HUNG-OUT TO DRY. Information, opinions, and statements shared, can be clearly validated and confirmed with documented facts, reports, and information upon request or on the Internet. Chinese Drywall (CDW) or Tainted and Corrosive Drywall (TCDW) structures require specific construction repairs, protocols, and treatment systems to correct the existing known issues and future unknown residual issues, not to mention current Health issues and future unknown Health issues from exposure ... long and short term. 1) Diagnosis ... Confirming and validating the structure is infected, by NDE Visual Analysis or Inspection, per approved protocols or systems. NDE Visual Analysis is the best means and method to confirm and validate CDW or TCDW structures ... PERIOD !!! Further confirmed by the August 27th, 2010 ... Joint Task Force Report. 2) Abatement ... Removal of all electrical, copper plumbing, HVAC, HVAC duct work, insulation, drywall, wood trim, wood doors, carpet / pad, cabinets, counter tops, ceiling fans, and other wood or porous components ... basically stripping the structure back to PRE-ROUGH-IN framing and structural wood, concrete, metal, windows, exterior doors and / or CMU components. 3) Treatment ... Based on the simple fact, at this time, NOT ONE PROFESSIONAL, EXPERT, or GOVERNMENT AGENCY has determined the specific cause, source, or manufacturing component compounds, out- gassing the corrosive vapors, acceptable exposure levels, specific Government Standards, ASTM Standards, or any Residential Exposure Level Standards (RELS). Further analysis and testing to confirm infection, only confirms the complexity of the issue, and simple fact ... ONE SIZE FITS ALL ... abatement and demo will not work, with-out proper treatment, of remaining surfaces and components. With that thought, I have encouraged and recommended our clients pay for a Treatment Application that neutralizes known out-gassing vapors that have permeated or absorbed into remaining construction materials, after the abatement process, that also includes Post Treatment, ASTM Chamber Testing of samples of remaining construction materials after Treatment application, confirming and validating Treatment success. Sniper Treatment Application System not only eliminates and eradicates hydrogen sulfide and other out-gassing vapor / residue, but also kills mold and mildew on contact, found in most structures during the Abatement Phase. Sniper Treatment Application Product is Non-Toxic, safe, and EPA Registered. 4) XRF Technology Numerous so called ... Scientific ... groups, individuals, and companies have promoted XRF Technology to identify, confirm, and misclassified CDW or TCDW, based on ... Junk Science ... without confirmed and documented lab or field testing ... by assuming STRONTIUM was a marker for CDW or TCDW ... based on in-correct information, bogus lab tests and field documentation ... validating their findings, supporting incorrect diagnosis, and justifying the misuse of XRF Technology applications for CDW or TCDW Analysis or Inspections. August 27th, 2010, Joint Task Force Report, clearly confirms XRF Strontium Testing invalid. XRF Testing of visual corrosion levels to determine Hydrogen Sulfide levels, fails to justify the cost. Consumers, Lenders, Insurers, Lawyers, and others looking for answers, cost effective diagnosis methods, cost effective abatement resolutions, abatement decisions, purchase decisions, and legal theories based on XRF and Strontium Levels ... Junk Science ... need to seriously review and re-evaluate their actions, decisions, concepts, and legal theories based on CPSC, HUD, EPA, and CDC Federal Task Group Report dated 8-27-2010. http://www.cpsc.gov/ http://ecologic.typepad.com/ 5) CDW or TCDW Certifications Consumers now know, there are no CDW or TCDW College Degrees, College classes, or Certifications ... APPROVED by ASTM, OSHA, EPA, HUD, CDC, or any other accredited State Licensed College or Licensed Federal Educational Institution. Any Group or entity promoting DEFECTIVE TREATMENT CERTIFICATION, or DEFECTIVE TESTING CERTIFICATION classes has NO CREDIBILITY ... simply stated ... the fact they are using the term DEFECTIVE confirms their lack of knowledge, ASTM Standards, and expertise ... ASTM 1396 / C 1396M section 4.1 ... Clearly confirms and validates the gypsum or sheet-rock boards meet the Manufacturing Guidelines and therefore are NOT DEFECTIVE. Product Materials and Manufacture ... Section 4.1 states ... "GYPSUM BOARD SHALL CONSIST OF A NON-COMBUSTIBLE CORE, ESSENTIALLY GYPSUM, SURFACED WITH PAPER BONDED TO THE CORE." Key words ... ESSENTIALLY GYPSUM ... results in all sheet-rock, meeting the standard. Clearly ... this is why the CPSC, OSHA, EPA, HUD or any other Government Agency has NOT ... TO-DATE ... issued or demanded a RE-CALL on the product. 6) Testing and Post Treatment Testing Testing required per Judge Fallon's guidelines ... Fails to provide specific means and method, ASTM type test, threshold level of out-gassing, or even specific out-gassing element(s) or material(s) to be tested. Fallon's guidelines simply require a clearance letter or document from a licensed Hygienist or Environmental Engineer, leaving a lot of room for interpretation, abuse, and further acts of greed by unethical professionals. We recommend and request Clearance Documents based on third party ASTM Chamber Testing sample of construction materials, acquired after Treatment Application and further ASTM Chamber Testing, samples of the NEW sheet-rock material, prior to installation, confirming out-gassing levels. 7) Personal Property Treatment Treatment of CDW or TCDW personal property, before relocation, is very important and may require re-treatment prior to occupancy / re-installation after re-construction of structure to avoid cross-contamination. Sniper Treatment Application avoids costly disposal of numerous items, avoiding re-placement cost, and helping control total re-construction and re-location cost.
