I have a brief question, although I do not know how brief the answer will be. How long does it take before the effects can be visibly seen, if a home has been constructed with one of these deleterious materials? Do weather conditions or geographical conditions exacerbate it, such as being in a coastal area? In her opening statement, Ms Cleary said there were ten or 12 other counties where people may end up with this problem but are not aware of it yet. In fact, she said it could be an issue in all of our counties. Are there particular factors that would exacerbate the problem?
