Teargas Cleanup

Teargas is often used to break up rioting or violent crowds. Teargas can either be directly sprayed or teargas grenades that can be thrown into a group of people. Once it’s breathed in, it causes severe eye and respiratory pain, skin irritation, and temporary blindness. In the eyes, it stimulates the nerves of the lacrimal gland to produce tears, hence the name.

 

Although referred to as a gas, it’s more like a powder that acts as a fine mist. Generally, law enforcement use teargas that contains 2-chlorobenzalmalonitrile (CS) gas. Even though the teargas eventually disperses, it can leave behind residue on walls, chairs, floors, ceilings, and any other item it comes into contact with, causing people respiratory irritation for months after being released. To make sure the exposed area is safe for humans, teargas residue must be cleaned from every surface it has come into contact with. In some severe instances, the drywall needs to be replaced to get rid of the contaminants.
