A Police Teargas Grenade is a standard less-lethal pyrotechnic device used by law enforcement worldwide to disperse crowds and control riots. It contains a chemical irritant, typically CS (2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile) or CN (chloroacetophenone), which upon ignition releases a cloud of aerosol or powder causing severe temporary effects: uncontrollable tearing, coughing, difficulty breathing, and skin irritation. Available as hand-thrown canisters or launched projectiles, it is a key tool in the graduated use-of-force continuum, designed to incapacitate individuals temporarily and force them to vacate an area, thereby restoring public order with a reduced risk of fatal injury.
