"CHEMTRAILS: Is U.S. Gov't. Secretly Testing Americans 'Again'? "

"KSLA News 12 had the sample tested at a lab. The results: A high level of barium, 6.8 parts per million, (ppm). That's more than three times the toxic level set by the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA.
Armed with these lab results about the high levels of barium found in our sample, we decided to contact the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. They told us that, 'yes,' these levels are very unusual. But at the same time they added the caveat that proving the source is a whole 'nother matter."

The news anchor also said that up until 9 years ago it was still legal to do secret experiments on the public, but due to outcry of citizens it was only allowed in special circumstances now.
Soon after a recent episode he saw particles in the air. "We'd see it drop to the ground in a haze," added Nichols. He then noticed the material collecting on the ground.
"This is water and stuff that I collected in bowls. I had it sitting out in my backyard in my dad's pick-up truck," said Nichols as he handed us a mason jar in the KSLA News 12 parking lot back in September after driving down from Arkansas.

Ryan told us ....that his Poison Control Center has seen no calls about barium exposure.
What is barium?
Barium is a silvery-white metal which exists in nature only in ores containing mixtures of elements. It combines with other chemicals such as sulfur or carbon and oxygen to form barium compounds.
Barium compounds are used by the oil and gas industries to make drilling muds. Drilling muds make it easier to drill through rock by keeping the drill bit lubricated. They are also used to make paint, bricks, ceramics, glass, and rubber.
Barium sulfate is sometimes used by doctors to perform medical tests and to take x-rays of the gastrointestinal tract.
What happens to barium when it enters the environment?
Barium gets into the air during the mining, refining, and production of barium compounds, and from the burning of coal and oil.
The length of time that barium will last in air, land, water, or sediments depends on the form of barium released.
Barium compounds, such as barium sulfate and barium carbonate, which do not dissolve well in water, can last a long time in the environment.
Barium compounds, such as barium chloride, barium nitrate, or barium hydroxide, that dissolve easily in water usually do not last in these forms for a long time in the environment. The barium in these compounds that is dissolved in water quickly combines with sulfate or carbonate that are naturally found in water and become the longer lasting forms (barium sulfate and barium carbonate).
Fish and aquatic organisms can accumulate barium.
How might I be exposed to barium?
Ingesting small amounts present in your food and water or breathing air containing very low levels of barium.
Living in areas with unusually high natural levels of barium in the drinking water.
Working in a job that involves barium production or use.
Living or working near waste sites where barium has been disposed of

So, there is NO WAY that Mr Nichols created this sample on his own, maybe in his garage? No way that this sample was manipulated at all, to proove an agenda he has?
Cassat said soil samples from the cove also indicated elevated levels of barium
6.2.1 Air
Estimated combined releases of 2.51 million pounds (1,140 metric tons) of barium (0.35 million pounds)
and barium compounds (2.16 million pounds) to the atmosphere from 1,107 domestic manufacturing and
processing facilities in 2004, accounted for about 1.09% of the estimated total environmental releases
from facilities required to report to the TRI (TRI04 2006). These releases are summarized in Tables 6-1
and 6-2.
Barium is released primarily to
the atmosphere as a result of industrial emissions during the mining,
refining, and production of barium and barium chemicals, fossil fuel combustion (Miner 1969a), and
