ABSTRACT
These tear agents are mixtures of classic halogenated tear agent vapor (see Class Index C24) and either stannic chloride or titanium tetrachloride. They cause intense eye pain and tears. They may also irritate the respiratory tract, causing the sensation that the casualty has difficulty breathing. In high concentrations, they are irritating to the skin and cause a temporary burning or itching sensation. High concentrations can cause nausea, vomiting, and blistering of the skin. In an enclosed or confined space, very high concentrations can be lethal. Contact with the liquid agent vapor can cause burns.
