About ToxicTrailers.com

ToxicTrailers.com is dedicated to providing information about formaldehyde poisoning, and advocating effective government regulations. The government spent more than $2 billion on FEMA trailers with hazardous levels of formaldehyde, and now has dumped more than 103,000 former FEMA trailers on the market despite proven problems with formaldehyde, mold and even gas leaks. The FEMA trailer tragedy exposed what is a widespread problem in RVs, mobile homes, modular buildings and even conventional homes and offices. If you are having symptoms such as burning eyes, congestion, sore throat, coughing, breathing difficulties, frequent sinus infections or rashes, and difficulties concentrating, you may have a formaldehyde problem. For questions or to share your story, write 4becky@cox.net.
To make a complaint about former FEMA travel trailers being advertised or rented as permanent housing in violation of the sales contract, send an e-mail to David Robbins, david.robbins@gsa.gov.
Plywood made with a soy-based alternative is available at Home Depot at the same cost as plywood that outgassing formaldehyde. See http://www.columbiaforestproducts.com/Innovations.aspx/Adhesives
For a eco friendly travel trailer built with materials that don't outgas formaldehyde, see http://www.goevergreenrv.com/

escaped FEMA trailer to get modular home with same problems

So post Katrina,

I am required to live in a trailer that was full of formaldehyde. So in an effort to get into a home as soon as possible, I buy what is touted as a modular home.

When I move in, after paying in full for the house, I find that my modular home has formaldehyde warning signs on all the walls. What's up? So I take the signs down , open the windows, and run the air conditioner cause it is 90 degrees outside with 90 percent humidity in New Orleans in July and August. I can't afford to AC my neighborhood, so I close the windows and the cough that I have had off and on since
Katrina will not go away. It is a constant tickle in my throat.

Lord help us!

Thanks to this group, I have been able to order testing kits to see just how much toxins I am living with or slowly dying from.
