Documents feed debate on FEMA trailers
Lawyer: Federal Documents Raise New Questions About Toxins in Trailers for Katrina Victims
Federal officials issued trailers to Hurricane Katrina victims even though some workplace safety tests detected high levels of formaldehyde at government staging areas for the structures just weeks after the storm, a lawyer for hundreds of occupants said Wednesday.
Buzbee said he reviewed a 10-page summary of test results from air sampling at FEMA staging facilities in Mississippi that found formaldehyde levels exceeding maximums set for federal workplace safety. Buzbee said the documents show some tests were performed as early as Oct. 11, 2005, and as late as Jan. 17, 2006.
“This is astonishing,” Buzbee said Wednesday in an interview. “How could they feign ignorance that this was an issue even before they sent these trailers to residents?”</em>
Exactly. It’s criminal negligence. Sue ‘em into the dirt.
