Health effects of barium:
The amount of barium that is detected in food and water usually is not high enough to become a health concern.
People with the greatest risk to barium exposure with additional health effects are those that work in the barium industry. Most of the health risks that they can undergo are caused by breathing in air that contains barium sulphate or barium carbonate.
Many hazardous waste sites contain certain amounts of barium. People that live near them may be exposed to harmful levels. The exposure will than be caused by breathing dust, eating soil or plants, or drinking water that is polluted with barium. Skin contact may also occur.
The health effects of barium depend upon the water-solubility of the compounds. Barium compounds that dissolve in water can be harmful to human health. The uptake of very large amounts of barium that are water-soluble may cause paralyses and in some cases even death.
Small amounts of water-soluble barium may cause a person to experience breathing difficulties, increased blood pressures, heart rhythm changes, stomach irritation, muscle weakness, changes in nerve reflexes, swelling of brains and liver, kidney and heart damage.
Barium has not shown to cause cancer with humans. There is no proof that barium can cause infertility or birth defects.

The samples taken where from "clean, non oil field jars"........Yes barium is used but it usually never becomes airborne and crates a fog......
Barium sulfate is used as a filler in plastics and as a component of oil well drilling fluid to increase the density. It is used in Episal salt.

Oh but it was the oil field thing.
The jar you saw in the video had nothing to do with the samples provided for testing.
The fog he mentioned was witnessed by many, the town I would say.

Its just odd how you jump to give an explanation due to being an oil producing area. Shreveport/Bossier City news outlets serve the the Tri-State are........Channel 12 which this aired is the most repected and watched station in the area.
This news station went even further disclosing documents and information on how the government had and could use the population for testing.
The news report was very indepth..........and sorry no oil field residue was used for testing...

I think the above investigation showing the high amount of Barium is enougn to warrant a public investigation into chemtrails.

So if I see chemtrail and then later find partices of some substance under it, I am going to of course suspect they are linked to the chemtrail.
I mean seriously you see some crap in the sky, which is observed by many people as being peculiar, and there is no investigation into it? What kind of public is that ignorant?

Nope, watch the video again. The resident said he saw particles in the air in the chemtrails which fell to the ground
Chemtrails are not contrails and again if you watched the video above the government itself has named chemtrails as one of its programs.

Again the only way to find out if the Barium was already in the ground is to investigate other chemtrails
and given the suspicion that the Barium particles are the chemtrails and they pose a risky to public health, it is an investigation that needs to be done.
You are not going to find out for sure if chemtrails do indeed contain Barium without investigating it.
And chemtrails do exist. Many people have reported them and they are listed in the 2001 government document and are even named "chemtrails" Argument from denial there mate
