While there is no excuse for allowing the formaldehyde poisoning to continue, I''d like to point out that FEMA trailers were supposed to be emergency housing. They were never intended to be permanent housing. FEMA should have never been absorbed into Homeland Security. Now it is just another inept, corrupt office of this administration.

%u201CAll of the available and still-emerging human health research data is demonstrating that if formaldehyde exposure is kept below levels that produce chronic irritation and overt target tissue damage, the risk of cancer is essentially zero,%u201D according to the Formaldehyde Council, an industry group. (MSNBC Special Report, 7/25/06)

Ahhhh...now we know where all of the out-of-work tobacco spokespersons found employment!

And given that formaldehyde has such terrible toxic environmental and health effects, maybe someone should find out why it''s an ingredient in the vaccines we are injecting into children every day:

What a shock -- the CDC covering up a public health concern. Ho hum! This pales in comparison to what they''ve done with the dangers of vaccines. Heads are gonna roll when that one comes out. And it will come out...it always does.

From actual experience, "Fleetwood" R/V manufacturer "WARNS" with a printed label inside their R/V''s that the R/V is only meant for occassional use and the "Formaldehyde" can be a respiratory problem for occupants. This is a widely known fact for those that use R/V''s and is also quite common in "mobile homes".

I too live in a trailor not one of FEMa''s. I brought this trailor in 2002.I open an package of supportive paper that came with the home and the paper states: Important health notice: Some of the building materials used in this home EMIT formaldehyde. Eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache, nausea, and a variety of Asthma like symptoms, including shortness of breath have bee reported as a result of formaldehyde exposure. Yes, I found this information in a folder 6 months after buying this home. now, I''m sick with Asthma and now my daughter has develop lung problems. Help.

Thanks.

question: Were these trailer purchased from exisitng supplies or were they built especially for Katrina, et al?

Comment: If they are normal inventory, that would mean that all people who have used these (feds, recreational users, etc) are affected by the same formaldehyde? RAY READ
