Tear Gas Cleanup

Self cleanup of tear gas from crime scenes is not recommended, and virtually impossible unless you have the proper tools and safety equipment. Professional cleaning is necessary to remove all traces of tear gas contamination which can seep into walls and other surfaces. Movement will cause the tear gas irritant to become airborne and cause watery eyes and respiratory distress.

CN and CS are the most widely used versions of tear gas, around 15 different types of tear gas have been developed worldwide. CS has become the most popular tear gas due to its strong effect and lack of toxicity in comparison to other versions of tear gas chemical agents. Persons who have been in contact with CS tear gas experience the effects of vomiting and burning sensation of the skin.

The Risk of Cleaning Tear Gas

The tear gas chemical reacts with moisture on the skin and eyes, causing a burning sensation and the immediate forceful shutting of the eyes. Reported effects can include tears streaming from the eyes, running nose full of mucus, burning in the nose and throat areas, disorientation, dizziness and restricted breathing. In highly concentrated doses of tear gas contamination it can induce severe coughing and vomiting.

The chemicals found in tear gas must be very carefully cleaned by professionals. If these chemicals are not treated by trained professionals, they can reactivate, causing harm to anybody who comes in contact with the reactivated chemicals. The crew at Rocky Mountain Biohazard uses tried and tested methods for cleaning and remediating tear gas situations.
