CPSC Investigation Finds No Problem Drywall or Environmental Factors Linked to

Ft. Bragg Deaths

FT. BRAGG, NC - Conclusions from a broad investigation by the U.S. Consumer

Product Safety Commission (CPSC) presented to Ft. Bragg military officials and

families today, found no evidence either of problem drywall or environmental

factors linked to the deaths of three infants.

Studies conducted by the nationally recognized firm Environmental Health and

Engineering, Inc. (EH & E), under contract with CPSC, looked at the drywall to see

if it met the criteria established by CPSC and other federal agencies for

identifying " problem " drywall. EH & E also studied the indoor environment and the

heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system to determine if possible

environmental factors may have contributed to the infant deaths.

The EH & E report (at www.cpsc.gov/info/drywall/ehefeb2011.pdf) presents data from

samples taken from two homes at Ft. Bragg where three infants died.

EH & E's environmental testing included nearly 400 different tests conducted for

fungi, metals, pesticides, PCB's, organic compounds, aldehydes, and volatile

organic compounds in the water, air, and dust. From all this testing, only the

levels of two pesticides, permetherin and cypermetherin, were found to be in the

high, normal range. All other pesticides were either not detectable or in the

low range.

CPSC recommended to Ft. Bragg that additional pesticide testing be conducted of

dust samples previously collected, to better estimate the concentrations of

pesticides that could have been present in the homes at the time of the deaths.

Ft. Bragg is currently working with EH & E on detailed testing of these

pesticides.

CPSC is in the final stages of completing its scientific investigation into

problem drywall. For additional findings from the Interagency Drywall Task

Force's investigation, visit www.DrywallResponse.gov
