STERI-CLEAN® INDIANA - Teargas Cleanup

The use of teargas is typically employed in extreme situations in an effort to disorient and cause severe discomfort of a wanted individual who may be barricaded in a secure location. It is used to ultimately defuse a potentially dangerous situation. Teargas is highly effective in this regard, however, the collateral damage to a property could be significant. Though these chemicals aren’t lethal, they still contain copious amounts of contaminants. 

 

The residue released from a teargas canister is very sticky and creates fine particles that release throughout the dwelling. This residue will continue to off-gas and when these impurities pollute the air, they cause a variety of adverse effects. Some of which include crying, vomiting, diarrhea, and other violent physical reactions. This residue will typically continue to off gas for extended periods of time and requires a professional and highly trained teargas cleanup company to provide proper neutralization and cleanup. 

 

Teargas cleanup can be quite extensive. The standard procedure is the removal of soft contents and anything with an internal fan (i.e. electronics and appliances) followed by neutralization of the hard-surfaced building shell. This would also include a complete cleanout of the ductwork and air handling equipment. Often, the discussion centers on whether it is more cost effective to replace the many items in lieu of cleaning.
