Note – I received a phone call from a friend today who was in Mississippi. He said he was driving on highway 59 and could not believe the number of FEMA trailers lining both sides of the highway. Wonder where they are going? Auction?  katy

With thousands of FEMA trailers now being dumped on the market, this e-mail is of interest because the person writing it has tested his FEMA trailers recently and found them still high in formaldehyde:

“I own several park models that were originally manufactured for FEMA. I have done extensive research into mitigating the formaldehyde contamination in the units. I have also tested numerous units on the FEMA lots for formaldehyde contamination—all have exceeded the FEMA standards for acceptable contamination by substantial levels.”

New Action Committee – ACHEMMIC- Urges Transparency in EPA Policy Over Mold & Microbial Contaminants

Certain Corporate and Government Interests Have Spent Huge Sums of Money and Resources DENYING THE TRUTH about the HEALTH EFFECTS of TOXIC MOLD

Political Action Committee – National Apartment Association (NAA) files Amicus Brief in mold case (two infant deaths in mold filled apt – Wasatch Prop Mgmt) citing US Chamber/ACOEM ‘litigation defense report’ to disclaim health effects of indoor mold & limit financial risk for industry

“Changes in construction methods have caused US buildings to become perfect petri dishes for mold and bacteria to flourish when water is added. Instead of warning the public and teaching physicians that the buildings were causing illness; in 2003 the US Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform, a think-tank, and a workers comp physician trade organization mass marketed an unscientific nonsequitor to the courts to disclaim the adverse health effects to stave off liability for financial stakeholders of moldy buildings. Although publicly exposed many times over the years, the deceit lingers in US courts to this very day.” Sharon Noonan Kramer
