Identification of CS-Derived Compounds Formed During Heat Dispersion of CS Riot Control Agent and the Temperature Ranges Associated with Their Formation

Abstract

Background: Military, correctional officer, and law enforcement personnel, are routinely exposed to 2-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS) during combat training, chemical protective mask confidence training, and riot control operations training. The public may be involuntarily exposed during rioting or civil disturbances. The potential exists for CS to form new compounds when dispersed by means of oxidizer-supported combustion of a chemical fuel from inside a canister.
