High temperatures are frequently used to disperse 2‐chlorobenzylidene malononitrile (CS) riot control agent. We examined airborne CS degradation products heat‐dispersed together with CS from canisters of a type used by law enforcement personnel for crowd and riot control. Air contaminants derived from CS were trapped using a polytetraflouroethylene filter. Analysis was by open tubular gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Compounds observed in addition to CS included 2‐chlorobenzaldehyde, 2‐chlorobenzonitrile, quinoline, 2‐chlorobenzylcyanide, 1,2‐dicyanobenzene, 3‐(2‐chlorophenyl)propynenitrile,cisandtransisomers of 2‐chlorocinnamonitrile, 2,2‐dicyano‐3‐(2‐chlorophenyl)oxirane, 2‐chlorodihydrocinnamonitrile, benzylidenemalononitrile,cisandtransisomers of 2‐cyanocinnamonitrile, 2‐chlorobenzylmalononitrile, 3‐quinoline carbonitrile, and 3‐isoquinoline carbonitrile.
