Housing for hurricane refugees had high levels of formaldehyde The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention failed to act for at least a year on warnings that Trailers housing refugees from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita contained dangerous levels of formaldehyde, according to a House of Representatives subcommittee report released Monday.Instead, the CDC's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry demoted the scientist who questioned its initial assessment that the Trailers were safe as long as residents opened a window or vent, the report said. That appraisal was produced in February 2007 at the request of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which had received thousands of complaints about fumes after providing the Trailers to families left homeless by the 2005 hurricanes. One year later, FEMA and CDC reversed course and acknowledged that formaldehyde levels in the Trailers were five times higher than is typically found in new housing. Formaldehyde is known to cause cancer, chronic bronchitis, eye irritation and other ailments. It was used in glue for rugs, wood, fiberboard and other materials. "FEMA was more concerned about legal liability than they were about people living in the Trailers," said Rep. Brad Miller, D-N.C., chairman of the House Committee on Science and Technology Subcommittee on Investigation and Oversight. "It certainly appears that (the agency) was more interested in giving FEMA what FEMA wanted, am ... Source: www.ksat.com --- 6 days ago

A federal judge says the government isn't immune from lawsuits claiming many Gulf Coast hurricane victims were exposed to potentially dangerous fumes while living in Trailers it provided. Friday's ruling says there is evidence that the Federal Emergency Management Agency delayed its response to concerns about formaldehyde levels in its Trailers due to liability concerns. The preservative can cause breathing problems and is classified as a carcinogen. Lawyers for victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita have accused FEMA of negligence. But the judge says the agency is shielded from liability over its decision to shelter tens of thousands of people in the Trailers in the first place after the 2005 hurricanes. ...

Imagine no concerns about heating oil prices, electric rates or power outages. One at 2 Corn Hill Road can forget about such plebian concerns and on Saturday the home will be open to the public. The home is part of the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association’s Green Buildings Open House, which is featuring 26 open houses on Cape Cod. ZeroEnergy Design designed the Truro home, which is energy neutral. Adam Prince, the business development principal for ZED, works out of a home office in Eastham. The main office is in Charlestown. “This is truly unique,” Prince declared. “It will produce as much energy as it will consume over the course of a year, and it will maintain air quality at the same time.” Air quality may not seem like much of an issue but when you have an airtight highly insulated home in order to be energy efficient, it is. “It has a heat recovery ventilator that brings in fresh outdoor air and carries air out as it’s exhausted,” Prince explained. “The materials we chose have no off-gassing from glues or toxic materials. The insulation has no formaldehyde in it. There is foam insulation in the outside walls and the internal walls have fiberglass insulation for soundproofing between the rooms. Typical fiberglass has formaldehyde.” So the insulation/heating system provides fresh air while avoiding toxic fumes of the sort that plagued the FEMA Trailers after Hurricane Katrina. The house was designed from scratch to conserve ...
