In some cases, law enforcement use tear gas, or OC spray, to diffuse violent situations in homes, businesses, and other locations. While it’s an effective technique for dispersing crowds and individuals, tear gas residue results in chemical exposure as it contains toxic chemicals.

Several tear gas cleanup standards apply in different states. At Spaulding Decon, we take pride in the fact that we comply with all possible regulations, including: CDC, NIOSH, EPA, OSHA, DOT, and ANSI/IICRC S540.

Although it is not fatal, there are numerous tear gas health risks to consider. CS gas exposure and similar sprays contain toxic substances that leave behind a hazardous residue, covering everything near and exposed to it.

If the area is not immediately decontaminated through expert tear gas decontamination services, it causes respiratory problems, skin irritation and in some instances, long-term symptoms and serious ailments such as neurological or organ damage, motor control loss and liver and heart damage.

The Spaulding Decon crew uses state-of-art and the latest technology to thoroughly clean commercial and residential tear-gas-contaminated areas. Tear gas residue can take months to clear from a contaminated area.

Tear gas contains several chemical compounds, all of which cause mucous membrane irritation causing coughing, tearing, rashes, pain, sneezing, and in some cases vision impairment, such as temporary blindness and respiratory illness. If you are exposed to tear gas for an extended period of time, symptoms can recur and worsen.

This is especially damaging to individuals with respiratory problems, asthma and COPD. For this reason, you should not enter a building contaminated with tear gas until professionally trained and experienced tear gas cleanup experts safely cleans, remediates the facility, and performs in-depth chemical residue removal.

Apart from cleaning tear gas residue, we also assess the damage caused by tear gas missiles or pellets. Law enforcement officers sometimes fire hundreds of rounds of tear gas canisters into a facility to subdue an unruly individual or gain control of a violent situation. As a result, these pellets may penetrate the wallboard.

In such a situation, tear gas may find its way inside HVAC systems and inside walls. Complete and thorough remediation is necessary to remove residue and pellets from the furniture, walls, and floor that have been subsequently damaged by tear gas canisters.

If tear gas has penetrated your buildings air conditioning or heating ducts, we may be accompanied by a professional HVAC service provider to help in cleaning out and restoring your systems. Our rigorous tear gas cleanup techniques ensure that the facility will be safe to be inhabited again.
