03.31 — PERVASIVE BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION FOUND IN CHINESE DRYWALL
Sabre Environmental Services LLC announced today the latest results of its continuing research and analysis of Chinese drywall. Testing performed by Sabre and independent labs has demonstrated viable bacteria present in Chinese drywall. Sabre has found that a specific type of bacteria, which is unique to Chinese drywall and was identified as Thiobacillus ferrooxidans in an independent published study, is present at high levels and is living within Chinese drywall. Previous speculation was that the bacterial contamination was only at trace, remnant or even nonviable levels, but the Sabre studies reveal that the bacteria is alive and present at 100 to 100,000 colony forming units per gram of Chinese drywall.
