Usage

General Description

2,6-Dichlorobenzalmalononitrile, also known as CS gas, is a potent and widely used riot control agent. It is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of organic compounds known as benzamides and derivatives. CS gas is a solid, white crystalline powder that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is primarily used by law enforcement and military organizations to disperse and control crowds during civil unrest or demonstrations. When released, CS gas causes intense irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, leading to temporary incapacitation and discomfort. Additionally, exposure to CS gas can also result in more severe effects such as respiratory distress and, in rare cases, lung injury.
