About ToxicTrailers.com
ToxicTrailers.com is dedicated to providing information about formaldehyde poisoning, and advocating effective government regulations to regulate this carcinogen. The government spent more than $2 billion on FEMA trailers that were found to have hazardous levels of formaldehyde. 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.

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.
