The Department of Homeland Security previously announced it would be conducting biochemical warfare testing at the closed school next year. Testing months were to include January and February, then again in June and July.
According to a published 58-page assessment of the testing, researchers would have been releasing inert chemicals into the air and measuring how much of them penetrate the buildings on site.
The department says the test would have determined how protected people would be when staying inside if biological agents are used in a terror attack.
The government insisted the chemicals were harmless. Some are found in sunscreens or laundry detergents. One, called DiPel, is a biological insecticide.
