News Five went to Pascagoula, Mississippi where we found several people living in a FEMA trailer park complaining of breathing problems and burning eyes.
It's believed high levels of the chemical formaldehyde are found in the trailers.
Elaine Plym says her niece and nephew have respiratory problems and thinks the FEMA trailers are the reason why.
"I believed that it's caused breathing problems with the children. I mean she comes up to my house and she gets okay and then she comes back down here and she's back on antibiotics again. I mean even her pediatrician didn't know what the problem was," said Elaine Plym of Pascagoula.
News Five contacted the Mississippi spokesperson for FEMA and we're told the Centers for Disease Control will randomly test the air quality of the FEMA trailers.
No word on when the testing will begin.
