Since the chemtrail debate (or argument) seems to have picked up, I thought I would share a study conducted on aircraft contrails and discuss the results of this study.
Firstly, a link to the study (pdf):
www.coas.oregonstate.edu...
The article makes for good reading and explains how and why contrails form.
SOOT
5.2% of the sample consisted of soot particles.
fairly obvious as to why soot was found coming out a jet engine.
The tiniest bits of airborne soot from vehicle exhaust, power plants and industries have the potential to affect global climate and take a much bigger toll on human health than previously thought, according to a new study by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University

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.

Yes but nobody's saying that all contrails are chemtrails. Therefore, even if some contrails have been tested, it proves nothing.
It proves the composition of contrails. Now chemtrail enthusiasts have a baseline by which to compare suspected chemtrails. That is, should someone take the initiative to do the testing. Note: should this happen we'd have to rule out known expulsions from aircraft such as military chaff, cloud seeding, cropdusting, fuel and latrine dumps, etc.
Again, the burden of proof of "chemtrails" lies on those making the claim. This requires irrefutable scientific evidence, not youtube videos, webpages with photos, claims that contrails look different than in the past, nor the unsupported claims of various people in positions of authority.

But yes, all in all, I am thinking of the well-being of people everywhere.

Or celebrities. The artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince spoke abou them, so they must be real. At least to the many reposters on YouTube.
And Mythbusters, with all the experts anyone could ever want available ( I imagine eagerly) to help, called it "silly" so they are ignorant or shills.
Go figure........

How do you know what I believe? And how do you know what is healthy for everybody (anybody)?

Wouldn't you rather the people not be ignorant about the natural processes around them? Wouldn't you rather that the people that teach our next generation use facts and not opinions and speculation? Isn't it in the general well-being of people to not fear, for whatever reason, the visual display of a jet's passing?

Well cars, buses, trucks and motorbikes make chemtrails too then...
Don't confuse pollutants with the supposed poisoning done by chemtrails.

It seems easy to intuit that you have a belief in "chemtrails". Correct me if I am wrong.

Chemicals and soot are present in all exhaust.
Unless you're claiming that normal aircraft exhaust is "chemtrails". In that case, the correct word for aircraft exhaust trails is "contrails".

Show me where a bus puts out 12%+ metals in it's exhaust.
Show me where a car puts out sodium, heavy metals and unknown compounds.
Show me the exhaust of 1000 bikes, and compare it to the exhaust of one jet engine.
Too bad you can't, or won't see that.
