FEMA trailer danger
FEMA has created a perfect storm for the victims it is supposed to be helping. Not only has it failed to move forward with the funding it has to rebuild the coast, it now has been revealed that the agency has covered up the dangers of the trailers it provided as temporary housing. The pressed wood walls and flooring contain formaldehyde which is a known cause of several medical conditions including cancer.
The trailers that were provided as a temporary fix shortly after Katrina are still being used while families wait for the agency to wake from its bureaucratic sleep. The testing done on the trailers was only done on trailers that had been aired out and the testing was only for short term exposure. The conclusion that the trailers were safe was contra to some of FEMA's own experts and certainly flew in the face of known scientific and medical knowledge.
Not only has FEMA not lived up to the compliment of "Good job, Brownie" uttered by President Bush shortly after the devastation of Katrina, now it is obvious that it is unethically exposing the victims to poisons which will surely take their toll. Ironically, if it had just moved ahead with deliberate haste, the exposure to these cancer causing trailers might have been short enough to save some from its more serious consequences.
