Despite several media references to instructions for using liquid antacids to counter the effects of tear gas, this information is false. Tear gas is not an acid. Spraying liquid antacid solution on someone may increase external pain because the dust adheres more readily to wet skin and the liquid can carry the dust through clothing onto the person's skin underneath. These "defense" instructions are harmful. And by giving people a false sense of security their lives may be endangered by continued and aggravated exposure.

Tear gas
Tear gas links back to this article, which doesn't help much if people click on the links in, um, this article! 86.149.2.192 (talk) 00:30, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Origin of military designations
It seems there are uncited claims on Wikipedia about the origin of the military designations CS, HS, SK, etc. I've found this source which attributes SK to "South Kensington" and HS to "Hun Stuff" - does anyone have more sources that clarify these designations? ----IsaacAA (talk) 20:58, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Move to tear gas
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was move per request as the common name of the subject.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 10:15, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Lachrymatory agent → Tear gas — It seems that tear gas is the more common term. Kaldari (talk) 02:03, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- Or "teargas" as one word.
- As Lachrymator redirects here, should there be a hatlink to lachrymators encountered as an industrial hazard, rather than in riot control? (E.g., around 1960 my mother once complained "teargas" about chlorine gas coming out of the water of an over-chlorinated swimming pool.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:02, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- If the intro reads "commonly referred to as tear gas", then, assuming no ambiguity or other issues, that should tell us where to go. Support per WP:UCN. — AjaxSmack 16:26, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- Comment isn't it also Lachrymating agent ? 70.29.208.247 (talk) 21:00, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
- Support: I support moving the article to Tear gas (not teargas) because it is overwhelmingly what most people call it. The words lachrymatory or lachrymating agent may be retained in the article to introduce the term to people unfamiliar with it. --O'Dea (talk) 02:10, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Antacid is NOT a Defense Against Tear Gas
Despite several media references to instructions for using liquid antacids to counter the effects of tear gas, this information is false. Tear gas is not an acid. Spraying liquid antacid solution on someone may increase external pain because the dust adheres more readily to wet skin and the liquid can carry the dust through clothing onto the person's skin underneath. These "defense" instructions are harmful. And by giving people a false sense of security their lives may be endangered by continued and aggravated exposure.
