YES! Formaldehyde exists in mobile homes AND in conventional site-built homes.
The California Air Resources Board's report published December 15, 2009 states:
"Nearly all homes (98%) had formaldehyde concentrations that exceeded guidelines for cancer and chronic irritation..."
Typical sources of formaldehyde are fiberglass wall insulation, laminate flooring, cabinets, plywood, particle board, MDF molding (both crown and base), MDF interior doors, closet organizers, furniture, especially the unfinished press board on backs of dressers, desks, bookcases, and drawer bottoms.
Testing is easy and inexpensive $39 including lab analysis.

Homes built after 1975 were subject to HUD rules and construction regulations, so are better in many ways. -Parks will allow older homes to exist if they are well kept, but will not allow pre-1975 homes to be moved into their property. Many insurance companies will not insure pre-1975 homes. Many movers will not move pre-1975 mobile homes.
