- Description
-
This document is a public health and safety resource titled "Teargas", compiled by the Health Information Centre (HIC) in Johannesburg. Produced during a period of heightened civil unrest and police intervention in South Africa, the booklet serves as both a medical advisory and a civil rights tool, providing transparent information on the chemical agents used by security forces for riot control.
The publication details the physiological effects of tear gas (typically CS or CN gas) on the human body, ranging from immediate respiratory distress to long-term health implications. Crucially, it provides practical, "first-aid" style instructions for activists, bystanders, and community members on how to mitigate exposure and treat symptoms in environments where these irritants have been deployed. - Subject
