Chemical irritants can cause serious injury, permanent disability and, in rare cases, death. Children, the elderly and people with chronic diseases are more vulnerable to the effects of chemical irritants. People with pre-existing respiratory conditions such as asthma are likely to need medical attention and may sometimes require hospitalisation or even respiratory assistance. Skin exposure to CS may cause chemical burns or induce allergic contact dermatitis. When people are affected at close range or are severely exposed, eye damage involving corneal scarring may result in permanent loss of visual acuity.
In case of accidental spillage or exposure to chemical irritants, seek immediate medical attention.
