The proliferation and increasing sophistication of chemical riot control agents mean that all parties need to understand the responsible use and effects of such compounds. Riot Control Agents: Issues in Toxicology, Safety, and Health provides a single, authoritative, and comprehensive body of practical information regarding the history, chemistry, biology, medical, and public health aspects of riot control agents. This unique resource describes their biological actions in humans and animals, aspects related to risk assessment, and recent technical developments. Chapters include practical information on chemical analysis, toxicology, pharmacology, risk management, and environmental issues. The authors also discuss emerging concepts, trends, and technologies in detail.This timely book presents a detailed review of the proper applications and realistic risks of riot control agents. It will be of great value to researchers, medical and public health officials, law enforcement and criminal justice personnel, and scientists interested in the biomedical and non-biomedical fields.

Industry Reviews

"[T]his excellent book provides an informed and detailed summary of the efforts made over the last century to evolve RCAs which are effective but do not (usually) cause permanent impairment or death. This is an authoritative collection of contributions from those who are closely associated with riot control agent use, evaluation and research." - BTS Newsletter
