Real visitor votes, updated the moment someone answers. Never padded.
Live totals for every tear gas residue cleanup poll on this site. A poll with only a few votes tells you very little, so treat these numbers as conversation starters and compare them with the sourced figures further down.

A poll is a snapshot of what a self-selected group of visitors chose to say. It is shaped by how the question was worded and by who happened to find the page. It cannot tell you how long CS particles stay active in fabric. It cannot tell you how often air systems spread residue between units, or what share of claims get paid. Those are questions for research, agency guidance, and industry data. Each of those has its own methods and its own limits. When you read a poll result on this site, treat it as the feelings of people who cared enough to respond. For facts about the wider world, look to the sourced figures elsewhere on the page.
Good reading habits are simple. Note how many people responded, since small samples shift with every new vote. Ask whether the options were balanced, or whether one was written to be the obvious choice. Think about who was likely to vote. People who searched for tear gas cleanup help are mostly those already dealing with it, and that colors their answers. Then set the poll beside the sourced facts. Say many people report that airing out the house was enough. But the health advice nearby explains why settled residue keeps irritating people. The gap between those two is where you should slow down and think.
Visitors to this page are not a random sample of everyone who deals with tear gas residue cleanup. People arrive here because they are planning, worried or curious, so the mix of answers can lean toward whoever was searching that week. Watch the vote count under each poll before you draw a conclusion, and compare what people think with the sourced figures below.
Amnesty International documented 125 incidents of police violence against protesters across 40 states and Washington, D.C. in May and June 2020.

Criminologist Peter Kraska's surveys, cited by the ACLU, estimate SWAT raids grew from about 3,000 per year in the 1980s to 45,000 per year by the mid-2000s.

The American Psychiatric Association estimates that 4% to 15% of bereaved adults experience prolonged grief disorder, diagnosable 12 months after a loss.

These figures are public research and agency data, not this network's own job records. Keep each number with its population, year and limits; none of them predicts cost, timing or outcome at a specific property.
Each vote adds to the total for the option chosen. The results show how answers are spread across the options. They reflect only people who chose to answer. So they are not a scientific survey of everyone affected by tear gas. Treat them as a snapshot of the experiences and opinions shared by visitors to this site, not a measure of what is typical.
Totals update as more visitors vote, so the percentages shift over time. Polls with few responses swing the most and tend to settle as more people answer. A local incident involving chemical irritants can bring a wave of new visitors with different experiences, which may move the numbers again.
You can view results after voting, and the results page may also be browsed directly. Looking at results does not add a vote. If you want your own experience with residue or cleanup counted fairly, consider voting before you look so other answers do not sway yours.
Polls are designed to collect answers without asking for your name or contact details. Your vote is combined with others and shown only as part of the totals. Avoid entering personal information anywhere in a poll. If you have concerns about how site data is handled, review the site's privacy policy for details on what is stored and why.
No. Results can show that others faced similar choices and point out questions you had not considered, such as whether people replaced soft goods or who paid for cleanup. The most popular answer may not fit your home. Base decisions on your building, your household's health, and a qualified provider's inspection.
No. Polls cannot tell you whether irritant residue remains, how much cleanup will cost, whether insurance will pay, or which provider to hire. They cannot account for the agent used, whether the HVAC ran during exposure, or who lives in your home. For those answers, rely on an inspection, a written scope, and your policy.
Polls are meant to capture one response per visitor so results stay meaningful. Voting repeatedly can distort the picture for everyone else. If you answered quickly and would now choose differently, remember the results are a rough snapshot anyway. Your honest first-hand experience is the most helpful contribution you can make.
