NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- U.S. government officials said people living in trailers supplied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency after Hurricane Katrina should be moved.
"The levels in many of these trailers and mobile homes are higher than would be expected indoors," Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement. "Since these levels were found in December and January, and we know that higher temperatures can cause formaldehyde levels to go up, we think it's wise for people to be relocated before the hot weather arrives in summer."
