(A clarification on the earlier post)
I should've specified that tear gas doesn't linger in air. Rather it gets washed away into the water system, our food chain, and impacts the lives of humans as well as any other animal or plant in the vicinity of the tear gas deployment.
Tear gas can also stay in various HVAC systems that don't have fine particle filtration (which is pretty expensive to maintain and is only found in very expensive HVAC systems or in hospitals).
Tear gas particles can also seep into various porous material such as fabrics and last there for months/years.
Either way, we have very little understanding of the long term exposure to tear gas - and we're experimenting with it on people who are asking for equality and on people who simply live in the vicinity of the tear gas deployment.

Just a little fun fact, gallium metal is a liquid metal with a melting point around body temperature.
One of its main properties is that it can amalgamate/seep into other metals, especially Aluminium, and severely weaken its structure inside out after 4 hours (but only if you sand off the oxide layer of the aluminium first).
Which is why it's important to never have even tiny amounts of it in contact with any aluminium alloys used by idk...
Expensive sports cars, private jets and certain padlocks. Oh geez I hope no one uses this info to perform a silent sabotage!

Also oh dear please keep gallium away from police vehicles and ICE patrol cars! Imagine the horror!
