Oahu's North Shore has many fantastic neighborhoods dating back to the days when sugar cane was the industry of our islands. A North Shore home inspector should always be mindful of the many building materials that are unique to buildings originally associated with the sugar cane industry.
Canec is one such building material. Canec is made from waste products from milling sugar and almost always contained arsenic. Older buildings may have Canec ceilings and wall boards. You can research the known health with this helpful link from Hawaii's Department of Health.
