lachrymatory

Certain lachrymatory agents are often used by police to force compliance, most notably tear gas.

It has a lachrymatory effect, like related compounds.

Lachrymatory agents are commonly used as riot control and chemical warfare agents.

While not as lethal as other chemical weapons, it caused vomiting and was a lachrymatory agent.

This colorless liquid is a lachrymatory agent.

It is a lachrymatory substance.

The best known such application of smoke compositions is in riot control, for dispersion of lachrymatory agents.

This lachrymatory liquid is moderately soluble in water and miscible in organic solvents.

Lachrymatory and regurgitant agents are deployed by throwing or breaking open the small hardened-gelatin spheroid capsules.

Thus, treatment of n-propanesulfinyl chloride with triethylamine gives syn-propanethial-S-oxide, the lachrymatory agent of the onion.

They are lachrymatory because they can react with water at the surface of the eye producing hydrochloric and organic acids irritating to the eye.

Riot control agents (sometimes called RCAs) are non-lethal lachrymatory agents used for riot control.

It is a used as a solvent in lachrymatory formulations containing CR gas or CS gas.

CR gas is a lachrymatory agent (LA), exerting its effects through activation of the TRPA1 channel.

Bromobenzyl cyanide (BBC) is an obsolete lachrymatory agent introduced in World War I as a harassing gas by the Allied Powers.

He also used various types of grenades, including anesthetic, lachrymatory (tear gas), hallucinogenic, and regurgitant gas grenades, smoke grenades, and concussion grenades.

This pungency and the lachrymatory effect of AITC is mediated through the TRPA1 and TRPV1 ion channels.

Recently, a structurally related lachrymatory compound, syn-butanethial S-oxide, CHOS, has been found in another genus Allium plant, Allium siculum.

In Hungary, pepper spray is reserved for law enforcement (including civilian members of the auxiliary police); civilians may carry canisters filled with maximum 20 grams of any other lachrymatory agent.

When Allium siculum is crushed, lachrymatory agent (Z)-butanethial S-oxide along with several 1-butenyl thiosulfinates are detected by mass spectrometry using a DART ion source.

A specific sulfenic acid, 1-propenesulfenic acid, formed when onions are cut, is rapidly rearranged by a second enzyme, called the lachrymatory factor synthase or LFS, giving syn-propanethial S-oxide.

Tear gas, formally known as a lachrymatory agent or lachrymator (from lacrima meaning "tear" in Latin), is a non-lethal chemical weapon that stimulates the corneal nerves in the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even blindness.

The use of the term "lacrimarium" or "lacrimatorium" (also "lacrymatory" or "lachrymatory") for unguentaria persisted because the small vessels were believed to have been used to collect the tears (lacrimae) of mourners to accompany the beloved in the grave.

In World War I, ethyl bromoacetate was used as a lachrymatory agent and tear gas agent for chemical warfare under the German code Weisskreuz (White Cross), and later as odorant or warning agent in odorless, toxic gases.

It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas... The moral effect should be so good that the loss of life should be reduced to a minimum.
