After the Serbian police used tear gas against students, Serbian chemistry students collected the shells and, in the laboratory, discovered that the police were using CN gas, which causes permanent damage and is banned in warfare by the Geneva Convention.

  1. ~~So, they’re using regular tear gas that just about every police in the world uses…. got it…~~

    Oops, I mixed them up. Thanks for the correction.

  2. Whoops…messed with ground crew… again… strike two…shrug…

  3. Note, while CN gas specifically is toxic, it’s not uniquely banned in warfare by the Geneva Convention: *any* tear gas, including CN and CS, are banned in warfare.

    CS gas is not banned from use in law enforcement, riot control. It’s the preferred product, whereas CN due to toxicity and fatalities, is not appropriate.

  4. The Geneva convention applies to armed conflicts, not here. All tear gas is banned by the Geneva convention, but used by law enforcement everywhere. Don’t know about CN vs CS gas but the Geneva convention part of your headline is superfluous.

  5. I know this is a really serious thread, but I burst out laughing when I read “Hemijska” because ALL my slavic friends, regardless of it’s my Polish one, Ukrainian one, Bosnian one, they really can’t say Chemistry for their life in English.
