Officials Warn of Risky Levels of Formaldehyde
Hurricane Victims Encouraged to Vacate Mobile Homes - Posted 02/14/08
NEW ORLEANS - MSNBC staff and news service reports - U.S. health officials are urging that Gulf Coast hurricane victims be moved out of their government-issued trailers as quickly as possible after tests found toxic levels of formaldehyde fumes.
Fumes from 519 trailer and mobile homes in Louisiana and Mississippi were — on average — about five times what people are exposed to in most modern homes, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In some trailers, the levels were nearly 40 times customary exposure levels, raising fears that residents could contract respiratory problems.
