Abstract

This study seeks to determine the spatial and temporal concentration of chemical agents (specifically - orthochlorobenzylidenemalononitrile - corson & stought (CS)) used by law enforcement in controlling civil disorders, depending on meteorological conditions and the time of the day. This study was conducted using the Gaussian air pollutant dispersion model. Based on findings of this study, conclusions pertaining to distance (in meters) and duration (in seconds) of the use of chemical agents under favorable, average, and unfavorable meteorological conditions, as well as conditions determined by the time of the day, both in urban and rural areas were drawn. Based on these conclusions, recommendations were made for the management and tactics of the engagement of police units in situations where the use of chemical agents occurs. Additionally, recommendations for future research in this area have been identified.
