Nice Day for Outdoor Work in Brooklyn...

Sunny and cool -- Thursday was the perfect day for the NYC Dept. of Environment Protection's (DEP) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) team to install something on a lamp post near a bridge in Brooklyn.

UPDATE: To answer our commenter's question, "What were they doing?" we've posted a picture of the monitor DEP installed on the post:

DEP's Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives team works with the Dept. of Homeland Security's BioWatch and Chemical Detection programs to monitor the air for dangerous chemicals, radiation, etc.

DEP has also installed detectors to monitor the air during the ongoing scraping and painting of the Brooklyn Bridge.
