About ToxicTrailers.com

ToxicTrailers.com is dedicated to providing information about formaldehyde poisoning. FEMA and the CDC have now admitted that levels of formaldehyde in FEMA trailers are so high that residents should be moved out quickly. CDC testing revealed unacceptably high formaldehyde levels in all brands of RVs, mobile homes, and park homes. To read which trailers brands tested the highest, go to the Website  http://cdc.gov/nceh/ehhe/trailerstudy/. The problem is not confined to RVs and mobile homes, but also can be a significant health threat in regular homes, offices and portable classrooms.

EPA petition on formaldehyde

In today’s Federal Register, EPA requested comments on the TSCA Section 21 petition to adopt and apply nationally the formaldehyde emissions regulation for composite wood products recently approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB); and to extend the regulation to include composite wood products used in manufactured homes. EPA must accept or deny the petition on or before June 21, 2008. See http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/pdf/E8-9136.pdf for a copy of the Federal Register notice.

Submit comments on or before May 12 by going to www.regulations.gov and looking for EPA Docket # EPA–HQ–OPPT–2008–0267. Go to www.sierraclub.org/toxics/downloads/2008-03-20-formaldehydepetition.pdf to view the petition. 25 organizations and 5000 individuals from every state signed the petition. See the list of organizations signing it below. To get the latest on CARB’s standards, which went into effect on April 18, go to www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/compwood/compwood.htm .
