Yeah, I agree -- most things aren't worth worrying about.  My attitude is:  if 
I can do something about a problem, then I do, otherwise it is useless to sit 
around and worry about it.

The workers on the gypsum ships and on shore don't wear masks or any other 
protection, even with gypsum dust floating all around, so it doesn't seem like 
it is a problem.

   Depends on who made it and where and where it's used, for different reasons.
Chinese wallboard seems to grow mold in high humidity areas, Florida 
wallboard, *might* emit [ mold killing? ] radiation.
  The only way to tell is to get a Rad counter...and be your own judge 
about how much is too much for you.

Then move into a cinder block or stone house that emits more..or use 
paneling that out gasses Formaldehyde...or...

...foresee that you'll step in front of a carcinogen belching  bus in 10 
years and quit worrying yourself sick.
