CS Gas
CS gas, or ortho-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile, is a chemical compound used as a riot control agent and in self-defense sprays. It’s a tear gas that causes temporary irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, leading to tearing, coughing, and discomfort. While effective for crowd control, exposure can be distressing but usually doesn’t cause permanent harm. It's primarily used by law enforcement and military personnel in situations requiring crowd management or dispersal. The use of CS gas is regulated in many countries due to its potential health effects and ethical considerations.
