Risks Faced by Protesters: Tear Gas Exposure
Exposure to tear gas, used as a crowd control measure, can cause severe irritation, pain, and disorientation. Tear gas contains compounds like capsaicin, inducing tearing and pain receptors in the body, leading to all-over body pain, especially in mucous membranes. Its use can be indiscriminate, affecting multiple people in a given area. Tear gas is controversial due to its intent to cause suffering without causing lethal harm, but can have health risks, including toxicity and carcinogenic effects.
