Did you guys hear the latest formaldehyde/FEMA story? This is the version I heard and have questions about.
Trailers in Cedar Rapids Iowa were tested by local news for 'F' and found very high levels.
FEMA's response at least in part:
- it's the tenants fault; possible I guess but doesn't explain how they start out so high
- F levels fluctuate during any day and from day to day; sounds reasonable, except that if they fluctuate dramatically then there must be a problem that needs to be fixed
Now for the two responses that really puzzle me.
- it's because of the tenants cooking habits
- it's because of tenants storing dry cleaning products
Anyone know what the hell kind of 'cooking habits' contribute to high F levels or is this total BS.
Do people in trailers store a lot of dry cleaning products? Is that for real or did they find one guy who does and decided to use it as an excuse?
Just wondering if any of you guys down south have some knowledge about this.
Thanks, Markus
