The chemtrail conspiracy theory holds that some trails left by aircraft are actually chemical or biological agents deliberately sprayed at high altitudes for purposes undisclosed to the general public in clandestine programs directed by government officials.  This theory is not accepted by the scientific community, which states that they are just normal contrails, as there is no scientific evidence supporting the chemtrail theory.Luckily for Sertox, an  expert from Rosario said that there are no toxic materials left by aircraft contrails (see in Spanish), and so we avoided going into subjects lacking scientific evidence to say. So we spent the logo of this number.
