Health Hazard Evaluation Report HETA 81-241-970, National Park Service, Patchogue, New York
In February 1981, the Regional Safety Manager of the United States Department of the Interior requested that the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) determine if formaldehyde vapors were present in two houses located a Watch Hill, Fire Island. The buildings are owned by the National Park Service and are used to house Park Service Rangers and their families. In February 1977, urea-formaldehyde (UF) foam insulation was installed in the houses. Since the occupants of the houses, including minors, have exhibited symptoms compatible with those of formaldehyde exposure, NIOSH recommends that the National Park Service take action to limit or eliminate exposures.
