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.

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

faulty maintenance causes FEMA trailer fire deaths

The Gambit newspaper in New Orleans has exposed the fact that using politically connected contractors with no experience with LP gas (or RV maintenance) has caused many fires in FEMA trailers, some of which have claimed lives. Please note that because the trailers were not set up properly, this also allowed moisture infiltration from the outside that not only made formaldehyde outgassing worse, but also caused serious mold problems in many of the trailers. How many ways could FEMA $*%#&() up with these campers?
