Screening on « air borne filaments » samples

Hi,

Do you know this association ?

https://www.facebook.com/acseipica.associationcitoyenne

An independant lab made analysis of « air borne filaments » samples collected by members of this group in France.

I join the report including an english abstract.

I am myself totally unqualified to discuss it, but maybe you could.

It's my opinion too. But I don't understand whether this explanation is given by the believers or by the lab. Anyway the first page is signed by the lab director. In this last case, it seems odd enough that they don't mention this assumption. It should be noted that after having provided this analysis the lab asked this report be presented as coming from ACSEIPICA association and not from the lab himself (Analytika).

oh, and by the way, nothing seems told about the sampling protocol ...

And also it's rather meaningless without a comparison to regular airborne contaminants. And why is «air borne filaments» in quotes? It almost seems like that was done after the report was written.
 
Not really my area of expertise but looks like caterpillar webs.
heres an article that seems to relate to this lab event

The lab is iffy to me. The founder Bernard Tailliez has very little info online.

His lab page shows two papers on the same 'event'. the second dated this month says:

Analytical service that you gave us a sample of " airborne filaments " is over .
The results are presented in summary - and detail - in the analytical report below.
This analytical performance follows the previously conducted four ( 4) samples of " airborne filaments " taken at the initiative of several
individuals in various places throughout the whole of France . (see our 20131030_Dumas - 18_Rapport_analytique_AnAlytikA report).
In this case, the sample comes from the region of Saint Martin de Crau , was taken at the request of your stick by Séverine Laxenaire care
of Bruno , usher located in Arles study, we sent 14 November 2014 by parcel post .
A great similarity is evident between the results obtained on the sample ( whose origin can not be challenged because the collection has
carried out under supervision of a bailiff ) and previously collected from individuals across the country.
For extremely complex are observed results , the composition of products for direct thermal decomposition of " airborne filaments "
studied to presume that they result from a process of polymerization in the thin air - upper - combustion effluent reactor

aviation .

Indeed, among the many products whose description is revealed by our study, consistently found a large number of chemicals
organic , natural and synthetic (especially fatty acids and long-chain phthalates) may enter into the composition of fuels and
lubricants such thermal jet engines.
The observation that we have repeated so fully justified concern that we noted when we published our first report on this subject ,
especially as the observations of fallout from " airborne filaments " continue to grow in France , Europe and worldwide .
Knowledge - preliminary and partial - ANALYTIKA the laboratory was able to get on the composition of these " airborne filaments " are
alarming since it is now demonstrated that they carry endocrine disruptors , and that these benefits are inevitably likely -
affect the entire surface of the globe .
If - as we strongly suspect , the impact of " airborne filaments " are the result of the development of air traffic liability
officials responsible for monitoring the health consequences of these economic activities is clearly committed , as well as those of
manufacturers and aviation fuels and manufacturers of aviation lubricants reactors .
As well as that related to traffic , air pollution caused by air travel - must be studied, monitored , and
regulated.
Your association is able to participate in the awareness of the general public and the media , only powerful enough levers to evoke a response
politicians and their officials , which remains deafening silence on the subject ...
Remaining at your disposal for any further information .

I don't know enough about environmentals or aviation chemicals to decipher his 'results'. I'm only saying caterpillar since it looks the same and these 'webs' have been around a while. Whether these webs happen in France in October (or if the webs are actually from October) I cant say.

Heres just some quick links I found on the ermine caterpillar (above) but there are other caterpillars that also spin webs apparently.

Ermine moth (Yponomeuta). Family Ermine moths (Yponomeutidae).
Perhaps Spindle Ermine (Yponomeuta cagnagella) But that isn't certain, because there are more dotted moths, which resemble and so far I haven't seen caterpillars in the spindle tree. The Orchard Ermine (Yponomeuta padella), and the Apple Ermine (Yponomeuta malinellus) are very similar. All the caterpillars have it their own food plants.
It's a day-flying moth.
Wingspan: 19 to 26 millimeters.
Flying time: June - October. Fortunately only one generation.
They overwinter as young caterpillars in the food plant. The caterpillars feed within a communal web. This web can completely cover a tree or bush. The webs protect the caterpillars from predators. They can strip the plant completely. When they pupate, the tree or bush will recover. The caterpillars haven't poisonous setae (hairs) like the Processionary (Thaumetopoea processionea).
