The most common chemical substances used as mass control agents are chloroacetophenone, chlorobenzylidene malononitrile, and oleoresin capsicum. These agents not only have local and rapid effects but also have systemic and long-term effects. The aim of the present study was to discuss the patterns of tear gas exposure and to investigate its effects on respiratory functions.
A face-to-face survey was conducted in 86 individuals who had been exposed to tear gas indoor and outdoor during the public protests in June 2013.
The most frequently reported respiratory complaints included cough, dyspnea, phlegm, and chest pain. Spirometry measurements including forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV) were also performed. Indoor exposers have lower mean % predicted FVC and FEV values than outdoor exposers. All complaints and signs were more common in indoor exposure to tear gas than in outdoor exposure.
Safety of the chemicals used as mass control agents during protests is doubtful as these agents are associated with several health risks.
用作人群控制剂的最常见化学物质是氯苯乙酮、氯苄叉丙二腈和辣椒油树脂。这些制剂不仅具有局部和快速效应,还具有全身和长期效应。本研究的目的是探讨催泪瓦斯暴露模式,并研究其对呼吸功能的影响。
对2013年6月公众抗议期间在室内和室外接触过催泪瓦斯的86人进行了面对面调查。
最常报告的呼吸道症状包括咳嗽、呼吸困难、咳痰和胸痛。还进行了肺活量测定,包括用力肺活量(FVC)和1秒用力呼气量(FEV)。室内暴露者的预测FVC和FEV平均百分比值低于室外暴露者。所有症状和体征在室内接触催泪瓦斯时比在室外接触时更常见。
抗议期间用作人群控制剂的化学品的安全性令人怀疑,因为这些制剂与多种健康风险相关。
