We tested 20 mobile and six of them had unsafe levels; nearly all of them were above the state's acceptable limit. But how do other homes compare?
Our test this time is small; four mobile homes here in Marion and two apartments.
"I don't think we've ever had a problem with it," said Jennifer Brown.
She is one of the home owners and right now thinks her home is safe. But mobile homes do have a history with the toxic chemical.
All six homes use composite wood products, the single greatest source of formaldehyde. Just like our FEMA tests last week these will hang for 24 hours then get sent to a lab for results.
The results could help us compare normal levels of formaldehyde to those we found in the mobile homes provided by FEMA.
