FEMA Issues New Limits on Formaldehyde Levels in Trailers

FEMA Issues New Limits on Formaldehyde Levels in Trailers
"The Federal Emergency Management Agency is setting strict new limits on formaldehyde levels in the mobile homes it buys for disaster victims.
After insisting that existing trailers are safe, the agency said Friday it will take 'extraordinary precautions' by buying trailers with formaldehyde emissions comparable to that of conventional housing. The requirement will cover a three-year contract to purchase up to 3,300 units and a smaller contract for units intended for disabled residents."
