A cancer causing chemical is forcing hundreds of homeowners nationwide out of their new homes after a Seattle-based company used formaldehyde on floor joists.
Did not Fl go through this crap years back ?
Especially in the mobile home industry?
Oops.
They did in the FEMA trailers supplied after Hurricane Katrina. Let to a lawsuits.
Gee pretty extensive read at YAHOO. Guess Trump wasn’t involved(yet) so they couldn’t ramble on nonsensically
It’s been in other materials, too. Simply allow most of it to evaporate out before moving in. ...only takes a few weeks to happen well enough.
B4 that too in regular homes. Someone mentioned Chicom Drywall that spewed fumes and caused wiring and other copper to corrode as in AC units etc
These homes are not mobile homes.
Formaldehyde can cause irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat. High levels of exposure may cause some types of cancers.

no s#!t Sherlock
I think I made a comment as to why they were chucking the bottles, and they said "You want to take a chance with cancer? Here..."
I’ve heard there is a push on to discontinue using formaldehyde in embalming as it may cause cancer. (sarc)
The problem then was formaldehyde in the sheetrock.
If you don't mind, what sort of work did you do? Were you a lifeguard, work near a beach, or did they have a swimming pool at the facilities?
Basic ? Why in the first place ?
Is formaldehyde a bug repellent or insect deterrent ?

We used that stuff in labs all the time. I don’t know about this, probably such a minute amount on joists wouldn’t be a big deal unless maybe they caught fire?
We were software engineers.

Formaldehyde doesn’t actually cause cancer, but it does cause death if you come in contact with much of it.
It will make men sterile in a fairly short time.
