Perfect timing.
How many "Real" events have happened during "Drills" ?
Hmmm.
We have been warned.

My only real question is why they figure they need to do the same testing repeatedly. It does little more than rile up the public and keep everyone on edge and scared, in many cases.

I believe there are still subway stations underwater from Sandy. The news carried a segment last weekend about it costing more than a billion to open one back up. Perhaps they're doing this again to determine how, if at all, the new "architecture" of the underground would change the direction of a released gas.

Another shining example of duplicity by the conspiracy-blinded minds on ATS.
If there were a chemical or biological weapon released, and no one was aware of how they would spread in the subways, then people here would be calling for the Emergency Preparedness people's head on a plate for not being prepared.
That they are trying to prepare for a chemical or biological weapon release, the people here are calling for the Emergency Preparedness people's heads on a plate.
Sorry folks, it's one or the other. Do you want to be prepared or don't you?
Stop whining when things are done to prepare. How else are you going to be able to track such a thing without testing? It's to prepare for things being delivered by air currents, therefore they need to release something traceable to see were the air currents go.
The US government has done this before. On the city I live in, back in the Cold War. No one is reporting any ill effect from similar experiments, and they were using planes, cars and roof tops into the open air, so I'm sure they were using an awful lot more chemical than NY is using for a semi-closed system.

I mean if it's harmless, odorless and non-toxic what do they learn from doing it?
Why not just use air than? Air is more toxic than releasing a substance that is non-toxic.
I still don't understand what will be accomplished by this.
1. You can't trace it with it being HON-T
2. You can't get any results because it wont affect anyone. So you gain no statistics from it.
3. You wont be able to tell where it goes, the characteristics of it, how it spreads with it being HON-T
What exactly is going on here...

If they could assure us that it wasn't some form of mass-medication I would feel a lot better...

That's terrifying.

Perfluorocarbons have many medical uses. Medical applications require high purity perfluorocarbons. Impurities with nitrogen bonds can have high toxicity; hydrogen-containing compounds (which can release hydrogen fluoride) and unsaturated compounds must also be excluded. Infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance and cell cultures can be used to test the perfluorocarbon.
Perfluorocarbons dissolve relatively high concentrations of gases, for example, 100 ml of perfluorodecalin at 25°C will dissolve 49 ml of oxygen at STP.
Therefore, pefluorocarbons have been used in “liquid breathing” where the perfluorocarbon is breathed into the lungs instead of air.
The ability to dissolve high concentrations of oxygen has also led to the use of perfluorocarbons in so-called “artificial blood” as oxygen therapeutics which function as artificial erythrocytes, serving to transport and deliver oxygen in the body.
