It's funny how people get stuck, and focused (incorrectly) on numbers, such as you are trying to do here, in order to deflect this discussion (and confuse the readers).
ALL machines, when they operate, are subjected to a degree of friction, and thus, wear and tear. They are lubricated, of course, but still....wear happens.
The way you're tossing about the "17%" (I thought it was 12%?...doesn't matter) makes it seem you are trying to give the impression that 17% (or 12%) of the engine is wearing away on each flight!?!
The percentage figures are from an EXAMINATION of the components that make up the exhaust, and the actual quantities being discussed are miniscule.
There are toxic substances in ground-based vehicle exhaust, too....as pointed out....
BUT, this distraction by shouting "HEAVY METALS", and using the 17% (or 12%) figure, is just that...a distraction. BECAUSE we are talking about extremely small amounts, here. I notice that you aren't paying attention (nor mentioning) figures such as parts-per-million, and such.
Also, you are completely IGNORING other forms of pollution that we exist in, and breathe, day in, day out, from industrial factoires ON THE GROUND. So, it isn't just fossil-fuel-buring vehicles that pollute.....
ALL of these simple facts are exagerrated by the "chemtrail" hoaxers, because they KNOW how easy it is to manipulate the ill-informed, and under-educate masses of the World, nowadays...especially using the Internet as their 'vehicle' to spread their disinfo.
It is encumbent upon those who have a sense of personal pride to take time and study, and actually learn something, rather than immediately jumping on a fake 'conspiracy' bandwagon, just because it is sold to them very cleverly. I'd think people that were fooled that easily should, after learning that fact, feel a little embarrassed, don't you?
Right here your lack of comprehension is showing. Either that or you're deliberately being ignorant to derail the thread.
I have posted links to a group who owns a jet fitted out with the appropriate testing equipment.
READ THE BlOODY LINKS I GAVE YOU!
Look I'll make it easy for you with a direct link to THE BLOODY APPLICATION FORM!
You've obviously got a vendetta from that Skunk Works thread still.

Your saying that extremely hardened bearing, in sealed casings, are creating the metallic particulates in the exhaust??

What is your deal? I thought you were on my side...I notice the three other debunkers have logged off. Are you one of them??
I'm really having trouble debating with someone that makes absolutely no sense, and can't even use quotes correctly.
The samples were taken 22 km back from point of release. 17% was metal (plus aluminum). Are you arguing with that??

I know "chemtrails" is a hoax with no credible prove around. Just a bunch of gullible people who would rather speculate about intrigue than learn about science.

I can read and understand a science chart and know to read the legend, so I guess I'm one up on some of the people here.

Insults and deflection? Sure sign the debate is over.

What this 'battle' is, here, is an attempt to dispel the mass quantities of BAD pseudo-science, insinuations, and outright LIES that have been peprpetuated, and become a part of, this "chemtrail" movement ever since its inception.

An infant is born "gullible", "under-educated" and "ill-informed".
The infant is also 'ignorant'.

To be fair, FAA requirements dictate mandatory total rebuild every 500 hours, thus, turbines are always breaking in during operation, rendering high wear metals. The metal primarily ends up in the lube sump, but 5 micron and lower metal particulate does migrate to the combustion area and will be ejected through the exhaust.

Look at any video or picture claiming to be a "chemtrail". There is your proof.

It's on you to prove they do, not on me to prove what science has shown is a visible plume from a passing jet.

Provide something of the same for "chemtrails".

Please show me the schedules maintenance card that requires a complete rebuild every 500 hrs. That would be interesting to me.

Wait, what? I'm not the one asking for proof

It's up to me?? Why me? I'm just a user on an internet forum. That's a lot of responsibility. I feel overburdened frankly.

Why do I have to? I have made no claims whatsoever.
To be honest, I think you expect too much from the internet.

As you have provided nothing to the conversation, and have mentioned that at least twice, I think you are just actively trying to cause drama.

...it's people who choose the internet as their sole source of "truth" who are expecting too much.

And the people who come onto forums and debate passive-aggressively, asking for answers and never giving any yourself.
