Max Bliss, in an attempt to blame aluminium as the source of illnesses resulting from cabin fume exposures has unearthed a 2004 scientific study on the chemicals found in aircraft cabins and their toxic effect.
The study was done by the Civil Aviation Authority (UK) and can be downloaded here.
The study is a comprehensive analysis of aircraft air conditioning ducts for toxic chemicals, the sort of study that chemtrail activists have been agitating for years for. It involved analysis of three air conditioning ducts, one new and two used ones that had amassed over 51000 hours of flying time between them.
According to the report, some aluminium was found amongst other chemicals. The levels found were attributed as follows;

According to the report, some aluminium was found amongst other chemicals. The levels found were attributed as follows;
- The inner surface of ducts 2 and 3 gave large peaks for aluminium and silicon and smaller peaks for sulphur, phosphorus, iron, potassium, titanium, chromium and magnesium in addition to the carbon, chlorine, calcium and copper found in duct 1. The speciation of these additional elements is unknown but they are likely to exist as the native element or non-volatile chemical compounds. All of these elements are present in both new and used aviation lubricants as detailed in reference [4]. They are also found in ambient air. The higher concentration of these elements in the lining of used ducts than in oil indicates either a concentration on the duct lining over a period of time or an additional source of contamination. The detailed results from the EM are detailed in Appendix A paragraph 2.
This supports the thesis of synthetic lubricating oil as the source of exposed duct contamination.
Also the aluminium present is not listed by the report as a toxic chemical or even an irritant.
The complete absence of "chemtrail" chemicals; aluminium oxide, barium and strontium in aircraft ducts that have a combined flight time of over 51,000 hours is inexplicable to those who believe that these chemicals are being routinely sprayed into the atmosphere.
The fact that it is one of the most strident supporters of the theory who has inadvertently blown it out of the water, is irony indeed.
