Recent tests on FEMA trailers that were put to use following Katrina in New Orleans show that 95% of those tested contained at least twice the CDC's maximum recommended level for long-term formaldehyde exposure. Wow.
Two questions for our readership:
- How did formaldehyde, an embalming fluid, get into the trailers?
- Is there a worse-run government agency out there than FEMA?

"The most significant sources of formaldehyde in travel trailers are the pressed wood products used in flooring, cabinetry and wallboard."
(so there was a FEMA press release about this almost 6 months ago - why the delay? => http://www.fema.gov/news/newsrelease.fema?id=36455)
