Sierra Club being vilified......
Only because they run around be a 'busy body' and never provide alternatives.
Their way or no way is their modus operandi.
First the problem is far worse than the Sierra club report. The problem is two fold (they only reported half of it) FIRST that they are still using products that out gas toxic gasses to build Mobile Hoomes, Trailers and RV's INCLUDING THE ONE YOU OWN, not just FEMA's That the industry has yet to adopt standards to prevent this from happening.
And 2nd, nobody other than the Sierra club is blowing the whistle
The Solution is two part as well
1: If you are being lodged in a FEMA trailer.> Ventilate, Ventilate, Let it air out long and hard. I did this with my motor home when new. The first several days after I got it home was windows open and Fantastic Fan on to blow out gasses. (Actually longer than that)
The second is to adopt industry standards or EPA regs to prevent the use of toxic gas emitters in residential vehicles and buildings.
Best if it is an industry standard, as opposed to government regulation,, Always better if the iundustry self regulates.
