I would more readily attribute that to the crap that they put in our food now a days, then I would to anything coming from aircraft 30K feet above your head.

There are people out there selling all kinds of alternate health stuff that is just as harmful, yet the government does little to stop them either.

SOOT
5.2% of the sample consisted of soot particles.
fairly obvious as to why soot was found coming out a jet engine.
METALS
Metals found consisted of Iron, Chromium and Titanium and made up 12% of the samples collected.
All three of these metals can be found in components of aircraft engines, so again, nothing out of the ordinary.
METALS (MIX)
As the above graph states, the mix indicates sulfur was found amongst the three metal particles.
Sulfur is used in jet fuels to help with lubricity, as a side note, many groups are pushing for fuels which contain little to no sulfur in them due to environmental concerns.
UNIDENTIFIED VOLATILES
Many of the unidentified volatile particles contained carbon peaks with areas at least 2-3 times above background noise level, suggesting that these were organic compounds.
UNIDENTIFIED NON-VOLATILES
Unidentified non-volatile particles often had small amorphous shapes, which could be soot, or large angular planar shapes, which could be silicates (which could not be positively identified since the grids were SiO coated).
MINERALS AND MINERALS MIX
Minerals found consisted of Sodium, Aluminium Potassium and/or Iron and made up 20% of the samples collected, the mix again contains sodium in the particles.
These minerals are all crustal in origin.
So what does all this mean?
Well it shows what should be found in a typical sample of an aircraft contrail

After 20 odd years of "chemtrails" we should be dropping like flies, shouldn't we? That doesn't seem to be happening, does it? The population just keeps increasing. Dang!
But I thought that the latest is that "chemtrails" are geo-engineering in action. That they are fighting global warming. That's a good thing, right?
They doesn't seem to be very good at whatever it is they're trying to accomplish with "chemtrails".

Contrails can linger for hours if the conditions are cold enough aloft. Again its basic meteorology, that has been around for 80 odd years, since aircraft were able to fly high enough.
All you need is a maximum temp of -38 degrees C, and humidty from the burning of hydrocarbon based fuel, which is what the exhaust of jet engines contains.

You need to read the thread and the paper, What you've asked has been covered.
But to summarise:
I never said what is found in contrail to be good or harmless, it is obvious that any engine or motor is going to produce potentially harmful particles.
Speaking of the particulates, just over 70 were analyzed and these particulates ranged from 5-14 microns in size, a human hair is roughly 100 microns.

You would breathe more particulates from car exhaust than you would from aircraft exhaust.
There have been many, many studies into airborne particulates and their effects on the atmosphere.
These links are just the tip of the iceberg:
