Ok, looks like this narrative is gaining traction. The logical questions are.....
Why ammonium nitrate? What are the implications of in fact it is from ammonium nitrate? Most people view ammonium nitrate as a "fertilizer" but ever since the "bombing" years ago there has been a strict chain of custody on the purchase of it. What other uses, say possible warfare uses, does ammonium nitrate have?
I'm too lazy to research all myself, well that's a copout. In all honesty I'm older and my connect the dots functions are a bit slow, however, some researchers here are incredibly insightful and I'm hoping to gleam more understanding about what we're all possibly breathing in.
Thanks, Carry On!!!
As a Ph.D. chemist, I can tell you that ammonium nitrate has been used for both good and evil purposes over the years. On the good side, it is a great fertilizer and has been used for many years with excellent results. On the evil side, ammonium nitrate has been used as an ingredient for explosives for many years. The Oklahoma City bombing used easy-to-make explosives containing ammonium nitrate. It is extremely difficult for the average person to buy most chemicals and any attempt to buy ammonium nitrate or potassium nitrate (another good fertilizer) would send up red flags in a hurry. I'm not sure what is going on, but the numerous recent reports of missing ammonium nitrate make me a bit nervous about what might happen in the near future.
Thank you. Great insight
Yes! Long term contamination? Long Term Health Implications?
Use more polish. <gdar>
I don't get your reference? What does this mean?
I am a writer, at least part time. I apologize if my linguistics offend you. I happen to be part polish so there's that.

Well, the correct verb in this instance would be "to glean" (look it up). Whereas "to gleam" refers to being shiny and polished.
Czesc! :-)
Well Shit..... lol.
