Posters Fake, But Study Is Real

NYPD To Study Subway Air Flow Next Month
by Max Jaeger

This poster placed in a subway station may look like an MTA “planned service change” advisory, but it’s actually a sensationalized warning created by the Greywater organization.
This poster placed in a subway station may look like an MTA “planned service change” advisory, but it’s actually a sensationalized warning created by the Greywater organization.
Warning posters popping up in the subway featuring an individual wearing a gas mask are the work of pranksters sensationalizing an airflow study to be conducted by the NYPD and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) this July, according to officials from the MTA.

While the bills are not MTA-sanctioned flyers, information posted is largely true.

The NYPD will release small amounts of harmless, colorless gas in 21 subway lines throughout the city in July in order to research how air flows through the city’s underground transit network, according to a press release from the NYPD. The study was also reported in the May 2 edition of the Times Newsweekly.

The study, pegged as the largest of its kind, will help researchers better understand the risks posed by airborne contaminents such as chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) weapons, according to a relase from the DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, which is taking part in the study.

The NYPD will use the study’s results to optimize its response to the intentional or accidental release of hazardous, airborne materials.

“The NYPD works for the best but plans for the worst when it comes to potentially catastrophic attacks such as ones employing radiological contaminants or weaponized anthrax,” said Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly in a statement, adding that, “This field study with Brookhaven's outstanding expertise will help prepare and safeguard the city's population in the event of an actual attack.”

The project is formally known as the Subway-Surface Air Flow Exchange (S-SAFE) and was commissioned by the NYPD and funded through a $3.4 million transit security grant from the Department of Homeland Security.

Researchers will release low concentrations of harmless gases known as perfluorocarbons at certain subway and street-level locations over three, non-consecutive days in July. The gas’ dispersion will be tracked by approximately 200 sampling device that will be deployed for the study, according to the NYPD.

Weather conditions will determine which days are chosen for the tests, and the public will be notified one day in advance, according to Brookhaven.

Research will be conducted dur- ing daylight hours in parts of all five boroughs.

Perfluorocarbon tracer gases (PFTs) present no health or environmental hazard, according to a statement from Brookhaven Labs. They are non-toxic, inert, odorless and invisible. They have been used in airflow studies since the 1980s, including a 2005 Urban Dispersion Program conducted in Manhattan, according to a press release from Brookhaven.

The study should have “zero impact on commuting and other public activity,” according to the NYPD.

Members of the public may notice clearly marked boxes containing the air sampling equipment secured in subway stations, on street light poles, and hand-carried by researchers, it was noted.

Got to give terrorist ideas....if they never thought of trying to circulate some killer gas through the NY subway to kill people....they are probably thinking about it now.

This is basically using human's as lab rats....humans that have not agreed to be test subjects....not sure if legal

Reminds me of the exercises conducted just prior to 9/11 to see if it would be possible to take down two towers with planes....

I'm upstate right now but I got 95% of my family in NYC and a majority of them take the subway. My neph just took the train to ride the TRAM.

Like someone said...why couldn't they use a specific line to conduct these tests on? Why the entire system?

IDK man....gov't getting sneaky with their ****.....soon, very soon it's gonna stop being us writing on a forum about this crap and actually collectively marching down to a gov't building and getting messy.

I respect protesters for just causes. And personally I think i'm gonna start doing my fair share of protesting.

This is ********. The MTA is straight garbage always raising fairs....when I came back home recently I found out we gotta pay $1 for just the metrocard....wtf man. Now they're sneaking around, testing gasses on us without our consent or say on the matter.

They've been trying to enslave us mind and clearly our bodies. No conspiracy hat needed.

And all you dudes saying *>NY(C)....please do me a favor and suck a ****. Could you....please?

Your area ain't eem worth it to test gasses on.

Word "Before Its News" sounds like CNN to these cats

Srs though this really does sound like a test to see if the US can use biological warfare overseas in the future in places like Germany, Spain, London.
