Agencies deny they covered up formaldehyde in FEMA trailers

January 30, 2008

“House Democrats accused the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Tuesday of covering up the long-term health hazards — possibly including cancer — that are linked to formaldehyde in hurricane trailers.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said at a committee hearing it is “unacceptable” that FEMA did not begin testing formaldehyde levels in travel trailers and mobile homes until last month.” (Federal Times)
