MACE spray

Dog repeUents available commercially in the 1990s have been generally unsuccessful in laboratory tests. Por example, lithium chloride treatments were usually rejected immediately with no ingestion, and bone oil treatments that contained up to 0.1% of the active ingredient were stiH consumed (93). Oleoresin capsicum [8023-77-6], the essence of red pepper, did have an extended effect on coyotes, even though the deer repeUents mentioned above were attractive to coyotes (93). Although a capsicum-base aerosol repeUent has been described as potentially harmful (94), pepper spray is commercially available in the United States to repel humans, as is Mace. 

APD 2000 A portable, hand-held chemical detection and monitoring device that detects chemical warfare agents, recognizes pepper spray and Mace, and identifies hazardous compounds. 

The chlorinated acetones are strong lachrymalors. Tear gas contains chloroacelophenonc. which is also a component of the nonlethal disabling spray chemical Mace. 

Riot control agents (tear gas) mace (CN), pepper spray, and CS. 

CN is a crystalline solid with a strong, pungent odor (see Figure 12.3). It is dispersed as a smoke, powder, or liquid formulation from grenades or other devices. It is perhaps better known under the trade name Chemical Mace and was once used widely for self-protection. It was also the standard tear gas used by the military (Figure 12.4) and police personnel. It has been replaced in favor of the less toxic CS for riot control and capsaicin pepper spray for self-defense. 

Chloroacetophenone (CN, mace, tear gas), ehlor-obenzylidene malonitrile (CS, Paralyzer , super tear gas), and oleoresin capsicum (OC, pepper-mace) are laerimators used in riot control. They are solid ehemicals administered as a fine dust or aerosol spray, and not true gases. Exposure to lacrimators causes immediate pain, blepharospasm, lacrimation, rhinorrhea, coughing, and sneezing but usually... 

CS and CN are by far the most important irritants described above. CN was the primary pulmonary irritant after World War I until CS was developed in 1928. CS has replaced CN as the principal military and law enforcement RCA, while CN as Mace is available over the counter for personal protection in some places. Capsaicin as pepper spray has somewhat replaced CN as a personal protective agent. Other chemicals in this class that are worthy of mention are chloropicrin (PS) and bromobenzenecy-anide (CA). PS and CA were developed before World War I, but have largely have been replaced because... 

OC has been incorporated into a variety of formulations and marketed as pepper gas, pepper mace, and pepper spray for self-defense, criminal incapacitation, law enforcement, and riot control purposes. It has also been formulated in combination with CS and CN for the same purposes. OC exposure induces involuntary closing of the eyes and lacrimation. It also causes respiratory related effects such as severe coughing and sneezing, nasal irritation, bronchoconstriction, and shortness of breath. It causes burning sensations of the skin and loss of motor control. As a result, many exposed individuals can be easily...

Civilian equivalent of the CAM. In addition to the agents detected by the CAM, the ADP 2000 wiU also detect pepper spray and Mace. 

Like CS, the riot control agent known as CN (1-chloroacetophenone) is a solid or powder and can be disseminated as a smoke generated from a grenade or other device, or in powder or liquid formulations. Under the trade name Mace, it is in most devices sold for self-protection, although today it is commonly mixed with or is being replaced by capsaicin (pepper spray). 

Self-defense spray is sold in small aerosols and other devices for self-defense. The chemical agent employed is often capsaicin (404-86-4), the oleoresin extracted from cayenne peppers Capisicum annum), hence pepper spray. Aerosol products contain 10 to 15% capsaicin. It is an inflammatory which causes temporary blindness and restricted breathing for up to 45 minutes. Self-defense sprays may come as key rings, or be disguised as flashlights or fountain pens, and be used against wildlife in addition to human offenders. Mace is also used in some self-defense sprays.

With the exception of capsaicin (originally proposed as a potential harassing agent in World War I) or pepper spray, tear gases are often a solid at room temperature and are dispersed in an aerosol (a suspension of fine particles in the air), in a liquid solvent (for example, Mace ), or as vapor generated using... 

It can detect nerve, blister, blood, and choking agents at the JSOR concentration level with near real-time detection. It can also detect riot control agents such as the pepper spray and mace. Operable at JSOR temperature extremes.
