Cities and municipalities often do not have the necessary resources to dedicate to teargas clean up after the fact, nor do they always have the right products in order to get the job done properly. That’s where Steri-Clean Illinois comes in to help; we take over where you left off. We know the difficulties of tear gas residue and the spread causing it to get into hard-to-reach places.
What is Tear Gas?
Tear Gas is developed to disperse and stick to all surrounding surfaces. Teargas is considered a less-lethal weapon that works by targeting the mucous membranes located in the eyes, nose, and mouth. As it’s breathed in, it can also hurt the lungs. From initial exposure, tear gas can be felt for anywhere between 30 minutes to several hours depending on how long the exposure lasted. Teargas is meant to work as an agent that causes people to be incapacitated by burning, intense coughing, and causing pain. It is often used to break up large crowds that have become dangerous or riotous.
Although referred to as a gas, it is more a powder-like substance that acts as a fine mist. Law enforcement agencies in the U.S. use a type of tear gas that has 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile or “CS” gas. Even though tear gas eventually disperses, it can leave behind residue on walls, furniture, and other items causing humans to have respiratory irritation from it for months after the tear gas was released. To leave the area safe for humans, teargas residue must be removed from all surfaces and walls. In some instances, the drywall must be replaced to get rid of the contaminants.
At Steri-Clean Illinois, we understand how to professionally clean the locations that have had tear gas dispersal within them. We know that getting rid of the irritant in its entirety is necessary to protect the people in the area. In these situations, tear gas cleanup is critical and time-sensitive. We used advanced cleaners to reach even the toughest of spots to ensure removal, leaving the air safe to breathe.
