Tear Gas Cleanup Service in St. Louis, MO

Tear gas—commonly referred to as CS gas—is a chemical irritant used in law enforcement operations, crowd control, and personal defense sprays. While it disperses quickly in open air, tear gas leaves behind microscopic residue that settles on walls, floors, fabrics, vehicles, and inside HVAC systems. Without professional remediation, this residue can linger for weeks or even months.

T.A.C.T. St. Louis provides certified tear gas cleanup services in St. Louis, Missouri, designed to fully remove chemical residue and restore indoor environments to safe, habitable conditions.

Why Tear Gas Cleanup Is Necessary

Even short-term exposure can contaminate a space. Tear gas residue can continue to cause symptoms long after the initial event, including:

• Ongoing coughing or throat irritation
• Burning or watering eyes
• Skin sensitivity or rashes
• Headaches and respiratory discomfort

Particles can recirculate through ventilation systems and re-deposit on surfaces, extending exposure risks for occupants, employees, or tenants. Standard cleaning methods do not neutralize tear gas chemicals and may spread contamination further.

Our Tear Gas Cleanup Process

While every situation is different, our tear gas decontamination process follows a structured, safety-first approach:

Site Assessment & Containment
Affected areas are evaluated and isolated to prevent cross-contamination. When necessary, negative air pressure is established.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Technicians use chemical-resistant suits, layered gloves, and appropriate respiratory protection in accordance with OSHA requirements.

Air Ventilation & Purification
Industrial air scrubbers and controlled ventilation systems reduce airborne particles and prevent residue from spreading.

Removal of Contaminated Materials
Porous materials such as carpeting, upholstery, and textiles are assessed. Items that cannot be safely restored are removed and disposed of according to hazardous-waste regulations.

Chemical Neutralization & Surface Cleaning
Professional neutralizing agents are applied to walls, ceilings, floors, fixtures, and HVAC components using proper dwell times and multiple passes as needed.

HEPA Filtration & Fine Particle Removal
HEPA-equipped vacuums capture microscopic particles that conventional cleaning methods cannot reach.

Tool & Equipment Decontamination
Reusable tools and gear are decontaminated in controlled areas. Disposable materials are sealed and properly discarded.

Post-Cleanup Verification
Air and surface testing is performed when appropriate. Clearance is provided only after contaminant levels meet accepted safety thresholds.
