Tear Gas Residue: HVAC and Porous-Material Decision Guide

Do not treat tear gas residue as an odor problem or assume an air cleaner resolves deposited material. First identify the incident, agent information available, release status, affected zones, and ventilation conditions. Then control the source, map particle and movement pathways, isolate or evaluate HVAC components, test cleaning methods on representative hard and porous materials, document removals, and define a re-entry decision based on the written scope. Medical symptoms and personal decontamination require emergency, poison-control, or clinical guidance—not a property-cleanup article.
