If it is a fuel additive, then it is easy to put in all planes. I used to scoff at the premise, but I watched them chem the skies above me today, 2 rounds. Abnormal contrails spread instead of dissipating. Best as I understand (no expert, little research), aluminum nitrate aerosol allows easy cloud formation, blocking the sun. No sun, no food, right?
OK. When I worked on the ramp fueling planes, if I wanted to take a sample of the JP we're putting into the aircraft, that would be no problem. Why hasn't someone done that?

The offending particulates could be a by-product of jet combustion, and not detectable in a raw sample?
