WASHINGTON - Manufacturers say they are not responsible for FEMA trailers that had toxic levels of formaldehyde, despite Democrats' findings that companies knew about the dangers yet sold them to the government anyway after Hurricane Katrina.

The report by Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is at odds with an analysis done by Republican staffers on the same committee. The Republican report backs the companies and found that trailer manufacturers should not be held accountable for the high levels of formaldehyde — a preservative commonly used in building materials — in trailers that the Federal Emergency Management Agency set up to house people displaced by Katrina in 2005. Republicans say it is the government's fault for not having standards for safe levels of formaldehyde in trailers.

But Democrats say their staff interviewed employees from one of the manufacturers — Gulf Stream Coach — who said they, too, were suffering effects from formaldehyde exposure, including nose bleeds, shortness of breath, dizziness and bleeding ears. One employee told investigators that there was a foul odor throughout the plant.

Gulf Stream Coach, Inc., received the bulk of the FEMA trailer contracts after Katrina, collecting more than $500 million.

Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., said the Democrats' investigation found that Gulf Stream did test trailers, but treated the test results as a public relations liability instead of as a health hazard.

"It found pervasive formaldehyde contamination in its trailers, and it didn't tell anyone," Waxman said Wednesday.

Chairman of Gulf Stream Jim Shea said there was no actual "testing" of trailers. Instead, there was informal screening with a Formaldemeter, which is not a scientific test.

However, Shea said his company in 2006 asked FEMA if it should test the trailers. But FEMA said no, he said.

The accusations against these manufacturers will make it difficult for the government to do business with them in the future, said Rep. Mark Souder, R-Ind. And no company would agree to cooperate with the government if this is the outcome, he said. The four trailer manufacturers testifying Wednesday all come from Souder's district in Elkhart County, Indiana. These are among the manufacturers being sued by people who lived and currently live in these trailers. Souder sits on both Government Oversight and the Homeland Security committees. FEMA is part of Homeland Security.

The Republican report also faults the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, FEMA and the Environmental Protection Agency for controversial testing that it says led to misleading results about the formaldehyde exposure. Last year, scientists tested hundreds of FEMA trailers and found potentially dangerous levels of formaldehyde.

Tony Buzbee, a lawyer representing hundreds of current and former trailer occupants who are suing dozens of trailer manufacturers, said it's laughable to assert that the manufacturers bear no responsibility for the levels of formaldehyde in the trailers they made.

But there is no government standard for the amount of formaldehyde in travel trailers. The government sets standards for indoor air quality for materials used to build mobile homes, but not travel trailers. If the government were to set a standard for materials in travel trailers, the order would have to come from Congress.

Until experts determine a safer level of the preservative, FEMA has set its own standard at 16 parts formaldehyde per billion parts of air.

To make a point, Republican staffers used a Formaldemeter to test the formaldehyde levels in the room next to the hearing room and found the levels at 80 parts formaldehyde per billion parts of air.

Tests last year found an average of 77 parts formaldehyde per billion parts of air in FEMA trailers. Gulf Stream's Shea said 16 parts per billion is not a realistic standard, and his company will not agree to it.

Gulf Stream's lobbying costs have more than doubled over the course of the controversy. In 2003 and 2004, there was no lobbying activity on behalf of Gulf Stream for trailer-related issues. In 2005, Gulf Stream paid less than $10,000 to lobby the House and administration on trailer contracts. But it paid $50,000 in 2006, $120,000 in 2007, and $60,000 in the first quarter of 2008 to lobby the House and administration on trailer issues, according to Senate records.

Katrina victims now occupy 15,000 travel trailers in the Gulf Coast. This is down from the more than 143,000 trailers that once housed Katrina victims.

FORMALDEHYDE is a colorless, organic chemical and an excellent preservative and bonding agent. Formaldehyde is in your lipstick, toothpaste, soft drinks, shampoo , kitchen cabinets , carpeting and wall board of your kid’s school and parent’s mobile home.  Eye, nose and throat irritation coughing, skin rashes, headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and nosebleeds are just a few of the everyday symptoms of formaldehyde. EPA has classified formaldehyde as a Probable Human Carcinogen meaning that it causes cancer in animals and  likely  humans.  A great percentage of people are hypersensitive to the irritant effects of formaldehyde even at lowest of levels. People often develop hypersensitivity after breathing formaldehyde vapors during a renovation of home or remodeling or working in a carpet or fabric store. Seamstresses are known to develop these symptoms after cutting and sewing formaldehyde treated fabrics for years.
Most homes and offices have measurable formaldehyde levels using conventional particleboard sub flooring, wallboards and carpets.  Two to five years after installation, two to three times the acceptable limit of formaldehyde can be measure in the air.  Formaldehyde is in pressed wood products, particleboard, plywood, medium-density fiberboard and paneling used in furniture manufacturing, new home construction, remodeling and renovation, and mobile home construction. Insulation of formaldehyde, Urea-formaldehyde foam insulation (UFFI) was a big source of contamination in the past. Formaldehyde products usually only emit vapors for 7 to 8 years. The emissions are most detrimental during the first few 365 days and the intensity gradually eases up over the next 7 to 8 years. Most home insulated with UFFI had indoor air concentrations of under 0.1 parts per millions (ppm) one year after installation .However UFFI when exposed to extreme heat or moisture can begin to emit formaldehyde vapors no matter how old the insulation.  Some consumer paper products, such as grocery bags, waxed papers, facial tissues and paper towels, are treated with urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins to make them stronger.  Many common household cleaning agents also contain formaldehyde, and UF resins are used as stiffeners, wrinkle resisters, water repellents, fire retardants and adhesive binders in floor covering, carpet backing and permanent-press clothes. Unexplained headache, rashes, nausea, vomiting, nosebleeds, or eye, nose, or throat irritation could mean levels of formaldehyde gas are too high. Newer mobile or prefabricated home expose their residents to the highest levels since they usually contain high amounts of particle board materials and have a tight construction that prevents air flow Toxic fumes from formaldehyde remains in the air. Ventilation and circulation of outside air into the home is imperative and installing or using exhaust fans is not a mistake.  It may reduce your level of contamination to below 0.1 ppm. If formaldehyde is in the insulation, particleboard or sub flooring, it is too difficult or expensive to remove the source walls and floors and cabinets may be covered with vapor-barriers paint. If the source of formaldehyde is paneling, plywood or particleboard, you may be able to coat it with special sealers.
Air Purification to remove chemicals for the air can reduce contamination of your home or office. If the humidity level inside your home is above 50%, using dehumidifiers to reduce the humidity will reduce formaldehyde levels.

Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is an important chemical used widely by industry to manufacture building materials and numerous household products. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Thus, it may be present in substantial concentrations both indoors and outdoors. Sources of formaldehyde in the home include building materials, smoking, household products, and the use of un-vented, fuel-burning appliances, like gas stoves or kerosene space heaters. Formaldehyde, by itself or in combination with other chemicals, serves a number of purposes in manufactured products. For example, it is used to add permanent-press qualities to clothing and draperies, as a component of glues and adhesives, and as a preservative in some paints and coating products. In homes, the most significant sources of formaldehyde are likely to be pressed wood products made using adhesives that contain urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins. Pressed wood products made for indoor use include: particleboard (used as sub-flooring and shelving and in cabinetry and furniture); hardwood plywood paneling (used for decorative wall covering and used in cabinets and furniture); and medium density fiberboard (used for drawer fronts, cabinets, and furniture tops). Medium density fiberboard contains a higher resin-to-wood ratio than any other UF pressed wood product and is generally recognized as being the highest formaldehyde-emitting pressed wood product. Other pressed wood products, such as softwood plywood and flake or oriented strandboard, are produced for exterior construction use and contain the dark, or red/black-colored phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin. Although formaldehyde is present in both types of resins, pressed woods that contain PF resin generally emit formaldehyde at considerably lower rates than those containing UF resin.

Formaldehyde, a colorless, pungent-smelling gas, can cause watery eyes, burning sensations in the eyes and throat, nausea, and difficulty in breathing in some humans exposed at elevated levels (above 0.1 parts per million). High concentrations may trigger attacks in people with asthma. There is evidence that some people can develop a sensitivity to formaldehyde. It has also been shown to cause cancer in animals and may cause cancer in humans. Health effects include eye, nose, and throat irritation; wheezing and coughing; fatigue; skin rash; severe allergic reactions.

May cause cancer.

May also cause other effects listed under "organic gases." EPA's Integrated Risk Information System profile - http://www.epa.gov/iris/subst/0419.htm

Levels in Homes

Average concentrations in older homes without UFFI are generally well below 0.1 (ppm). In homes with significant amounts of new pressed wood products, levels can be greater than 0.3 ppm.

Steps to Reduce Exposure.

this is the establishment advice.

My advice is don't agree to any formaldehyde or pressed wood in your living space

* Use "exterior-grade" pressed wood products (lower-emitting because they contain phenol resins, not urea resins).
* Use air conditioning and dehumidifiers to maintain moderate temperature and reduce humidity levels.
* Increase ventilation, particularly after bringing new sources of formaldehyde into the home.Ask about the formaldehyde content of pressed wood products, including building materials, cabinetry, and furniture before you purchase them. If you experience adverse reactions to formaldehyde, you may want to avoid the use of pressed wood products and other formaldehyde-emitting goods. Even if you do not experience such reactions, you may wish to reduce your exposure as much as possible by purchasing exterior-grade products, which emit less formaldehyde. For further information on formaldehyde and consumer products, call the EPA Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) assistance line (202-554-1404). Some studies suggest that coating pressed wood products with polyurethane may reduce formaldehyde emissions for some period of time. To be effective, any such coating must cover all surfaces and edges and remain intact. Increase the ventilation and carefully follow the manufacturer instructions while applying these coatings. (If you are sensitive to formaldehyde, check the label contents before purchasing coating products to avoid buying products that contain formaldehyde, as they will emit the chemical for a short time after application.)

 

The rate at which formaldehyde is released is accelerated by heat and may also depend somewhat on the humidity level. Therefore, the use of dehumidifiers and air conditioning to control humidity and to maintain a moderate temperature can help reduce formaldehyde emissions. (Drain and clean dehumidifier collection trays frequently so that they do not become a breeding ground for microorganisms.) Increasing the rate of ventilation in your home will also help in reducing formaldehyde levels.

1. What is formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling gas. It is an important industrial chemical used to manufacture building materials and to produce many household products. It is used in pressed wood products such as particleboard, plywood, and fiberboard, glues and adhesives, permanent press fabrics, paper product coatings, and certain insulation materials. In addition, formaldehyde is commonly used as an industrial fungicide, germicide, and disinfectant, and as a preservative in mortuaries and medical laboratories.

2. How is the general population exposed to formaldehyde?

According to a 1997 report by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, formaldehyde is normally present in both indoor and outdoor air at low levels, usually less than 0.03 parts of formaldehyde per million parts of air (ppm). Materials containing formaldehyde can release formaldehyde gas or vapor into the air. Formaldehyde can also be released by burning wood, kerosene, natural gas, or cigarettes; through automobile emissions; or from natural processes.

During the 1970s, urea-formaldehyde foam insulation (UFFI) was used in many homes. However, few homes are now insulated with UFFI. Homes in which UFFI was installed many years ago are not likely to have high formaldehyde levels now. Pressed wood products containing formaldehyde resins are often a significant source of formaldehyde in homes. Other potential indoor sources of formaldehyde include cigarette smoke and the use of un vented, fuel-burning appliances such as gas stoves, wood-burning stoves, and kerosene heaters.

Industrial workers who produce formaldehyde or formaldehyde-containing products, laboratory technicians, health care professionals, and mortuary employees may be exposed to higher levels of formaldehyde than the general public. Exposure occurs primarily by inhaling formaldehyde gas or vapor from the air or by absorbing liquids containing formaldehyde through the skin.

3. What are the short-term health effects of formaldehyde exposure?

When formaldehyde is present in the air at levels exceeding 0.1 ppm, some individuals may experience health effects such as watery eyes; burning sensations of the eyes, nose, and throat; coughing; wheezing; nausea; and skin irritation. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde, while others have no reaction to the same level of exposure.

4. Can formaldehyde cause cancer?

Although the short-term health effects of formaldehyde exposure are well known, less is known about its potential long-term health effects. In 1980, laboratory studies showed that exposure to formaldehyde could cause nasal cancer in rats. This finding raised the question of whether formaldehyde exposure could also cause cancer in humans. In 1987, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified formaldehyde as a probable human carcinogen under conditions of unusually high or prolonged exposure (1). Since that time, some studies of industrial workers have suggested that formaldehyde exposure is associated with nasal cancer and unsparing cancer, and possibly with leukemia. In 1995, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded that formaldehyde is a probable human carcinogen. However, in a reevaluation of existing data in June 2004, the IARC reclassified formaldehyde as a known human carcinogen (2).

5. What have scientists learned about the relationship between formaldehyde and cancer?

Since 1980, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has conducted studies to determine whether there is an association between occupational exposure to formaldehyde and an increase in the risk of cancer. The results of this research have provided the EPA and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) with information to evaluate the potential health effects of workplace exposure to formaldehyde.

Long-term effects of formaldehyde have been evaluated in epidemiological studies (studies that attempt to uncover the patterns and causes of disease in groups of people). One type of study, called a cohort study, looks at populations that have different exposures to a particular factor, such as formaldehyde. A cohort is a group of people who are followed over time to see whether a disease develops. Another kind of study, a case-control study, begins with people diagnosed as having a disease (cases) and compares them to people without the disease (controls).

Several NCI studies have found that anatomists and embalmers, professions with potential exposure to formaldehyde, are at an increased risk for leukemia and brain cancer compared with the general population. In 2003, a number of cohort studies were completed among workers exposed to formaldehyde. One study, conducted by the NCI, analyzed 25,619 workers in formaldehyde industries and estimated each worker’s exposure to formaldehyde while at work (3). The analysis found an increased risk of death due to leukemia, particularly myeloid leukemia, among the workers exposed to formaldehyde. This risk was associated with increasing peak and average levels of exposure and the duration of exposure, but not cumulative exposure. Another study of 14,014 textile workers performed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) also found an association between the duration of exposure to formaldehyde and leukemia deaths. However, an additional cohort study of 11,039 British industry workers found no association between cumulative formaldehyde exposure and leukemia deaths.

Formaldehyde undergoes rapid chemical changes immediately after absorption. Therefore, some scientists think effects of formaldehyde at sites other than the upper respiratory tract are unlikely. However, some laboratory studies suggest that formaldehyde may affect the lymphatic and blood systems. Based on both the epidemiological data from cohort studies and the experimental data from laboratory research, NCI investigators have concluded that exposure to formaldehyde may cause leukemia, particularly myeloid leukemia, in humans. However, inconsistent results from other studies suggest that further research is needed before definite conclusions are drawn.

Several case-control studies and cohort studies, including analysis of the large NCI cohort, have reported an association between formaldehyde exposure and unsparing cancer, although others have not. Data from extended follow-up of the NCI study found that the excess of unsparing cancer observed in the earlier report persisted (4).

Earlier analysis of the NCI cohort found increased lung cancer deaths among industrial workers compared with the general U.S. population. However, the rate of lung cancer deaths did not increase with higher levels of formaldehyde exposure. This observation led the researchers to conclude that factors other than formaldehyde exposure might have caused the increased deaths. New data on lung cancer from the extended follow-up did not find any relationship between formaldehyde exposure and lung cancer mortality.

6. What has been done to protect workers from formaldehyde?

In 1987, OSHA passed a law that reduced the amount of formaldehyde to which workers can be exposed over an 8-hour work day from 3 ppm to 1 ppm. In May 1992, the law was amended, and the formaldehyde exposure limit was further reduced to 0.75 ppm.

7. How can people limit formaldehyde exposure in their homes?

The EPA recommends the use of “exterior-grade” pressed wood products to limit formaldehyde exposure in the home. Before purchasing pressed wood products, including building materials, cabinetry, and furniture, buyers should ask about the formaldehyde content of these products. Formaldehyde levels in homes can also be reduced by ensuring adequate ventilation, moderate temperatures, and reduced humidity levels through the use of air conditioners and dehumidifiers.

The most common health effects of exposure to these compounds consist of eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination, nausea and in severe cases, liver, kidney and CNS damage. The health effects are categorized as type 1, 2 or 3. Type 1 illness includes eye irritation, nasal irritation, headache, fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

Type 2 illness includes neuropsychological dysfunction.

Type 3 includes all of the above plus true dementia. Industrial hygienists have developed two guidelines for the VOCs.

Rule #1 states that there is not a predictable dose response relationship between the exposure and the health effect due to numerous other variables.

Rule #2 states there is no homogeneous susceptibility of the population to these agents (this is similar to the variable sensitivity to anesthetic agents).

The five major sources of indoor air pollution are: * Wood and coal combustion, un vented kerosene heaters, and tobacco smoke * Building materials and furnishings * Products for household cleaning and repair * Central heating, cooling, air conditioning and humidifying systems * Domestic flora and fauna, including all types of furry pets and birds
