So I know there's a lot of smart folks here at RIU, and there is one question that begs me for answers and that is: What are Chemtrails, and are they harmful to the public?
So when I googled "What are all those lines in the sky?" I was given a host of websites (wikipedia, science.howstuffworks.com, etc) that referred to chemtrails as "Contrails" and said they were produced because of hot gas being cooled rapidly in the ionosphere, creating particles of ice essentially that hang around in the air for awhile and dissapate.
Then I googled, "chemtrails admitted by" and I found "a whole nother" (f u stewie) host of sites that claim that a NASA scientist admitted to spraying Lithium Oxide in the air in order to observe wind/magnetics up there. They claim they are being very open about it, and that it is harmless to the environment (people included).
Then I googled, "lithium oxide MSDS" (Material Safety Data Sheet) and I found this:
"The toxicity of lithium compounds is a function of their solubility in water. Lithium ion has central nervous system toxicity. The initial effects of lithium exposure are tremors of the hands, nausea, micturition, slurred speech, sluggishness, sleepiness, vertigo, thirst, and increased urine volume. Effects from continued exposure are apathy, anorexia, fatigue, lethargy, muscular weakness, and changes in ECG. Long-term exposure leads to hypothyroidism, leukocytosis, edema, weight gain, polydipsia/polyuria (increased water intake leading to increased urinary output), memory impairment, seizures, kidney damage, shock, hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, coma, death. (Sax, Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, eighth edition)"
Also included:
"Acute Effects:
Inhalation: SEVERE IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE. Causes irritation to the respiratory tract and mucous membranes.
Ingestion: SEVERE IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE. May cause central nervous system effects, circulatory failure and cardiovascular collapse.
Skin: SEVERE IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE.
Eye: SEVERE IRRITANT AND CORROSIVE.
Chronic Effects:
Inhalation: May cause pulmonary edema and lung damage.
Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation, renal dysfunction, derangement of neuromuscular activity, diabetes and kidney damage.
Skin: May be an irritant and corrosive.
Eye: May cause blurred vision.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eyes.
Target Organs: May affect respiratory system, skin and eyes.
"
So I'm not trying to say they are good or bad or harmful or helpful. I just want to know what the smart folks here on RIU have to say, so I can refine my understanding of this phenomenon.
I will say though, I don't like looking up at the sky and seeing all of those lines in grid formation hanging over my city every day. It just feels weird.
So what do you say???
Also - if I'm incorrect in my research, please tell me so I can be as informed as possible on the subject. Thank yoU!
