Can you explain it in more detail? What are these gasses? Sounds interesting....

[EveV]

Yeaaa. I'd like a little more detail to. This is hard to follow.
But it does sound really interesting.

I am not sure if I understood well.But are you guys saying that those chemicals are one of the causes of global warming?Forgive me if I am wrong there but I am too ignorant sometimes.

Ethylene Dibromide (1,2-Dibromoethane) is absolutely a very nasty chemical. It has toxic effect to the liver, kidneys, and the testes. It has been classified by the US-EPA as a Group B2 human carcinogen. Besides its carcinogenic properties it can cause severe depression in humans.

Some of what you have mentioned was true, however your data is about 30 years out of date. It is absolutely true that jet fuel once contained EDB and was absolutely present in aircraft contrails. That use pales in comparison to its use as a antiknock compound in automotive gasoline. This is the main reason that leaded gasoline is no longer in use in the U.S. EDB's were much more dangerous than the lead.

In the U.S. the use of EDB in fuels has been compeatly BANNED! Its primary uses now are for treatment of termites in logging, and control of wax moths in bee hives.

So don't be afraid of the lines in the sky. Your fears should be from the lumber in your walls, and the honey in your cupboard!

(although the target use of EDB's in the U.S. by 2015 is 0%, I can not be certain of the levels for other countries. Some places like Brazil still use chemicals that have been baned here for 50 years.)

You shouldn't be so MEAN. Please do not classify us all in the same category.

I have meet stupid people in every country, I have ever been to. The truth is, they are often loud and outspoken, therefore you can't hear the smart ones!

That does makes sense.
