NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Hundreds of Gulf Coast hurricane victims will
make room in their trailers for a belated gift from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
It's a tripod with an air tube and thermometer.
Government scientists will use those devices to measure
formaldehyde emissions in FEMA trailers.
Preliminary results of the air-quality tests are due in
February. A final report is expected to be released in May.
Formaldehyde can cause respiratory problems and has been
classified as a carcinogen.
Hurricane Katrina slammed the Gulf coast in August of 2005.
