Are you aware that tear gas residue, once created, will remain after its use and can be hazardous to those exposed to it? Unfortunately, cleaning up messes like this isn't as simple as mopping or vacuuming; it requires the knowledge of professionals who know proper safety protocols for tear gas cleanup, and what entails handling possibly dangerous material.
At Bio-One Of Chula Vista, we understand the magnitude of this issue and are here to provide information on how to safely remove this residue from your property so that you may breathe a sigh of relief.
Tear gas, also known as a lachrymatory agent, is a chemical compound used by law enforcement and military personnel for crowd control. Tear gas canisters release the chemical compound in the form of an aerosol, causing irritation to the eyes and respiratory system.
Although tear gas is considered non-lethal, it can have detrimental effects on the environment and property. Tear gas can cause corrosion and permanent damage to surfaces such as metal and paint, making it essential to have a proper decontamination and cleanup process in place. It is important to understand the effects of tear gas on the property and to take necessary precautions to minimize damage.
In situations where tear gas has been deployed, it is crucial to take the proper precautions for its removal. Tear gas is a potent irritant that can cause respiratory and skin problems, making it a significant health risk.
The first and most important step to take is to leave the affected area immediately, as tear gas can cause lasting damage to the respiratory system. Once you're a safe distance away, remove any contaminated clothing and flush the affected area with water. If you are experiencing severe symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
Tear gas residue is a serious matter that requires professional clean-up to ensure complete removal. Tear gas can cause respiratory distress, skin irritation, and even blindness. When a space has been affected by tear gas, it's essential to hire a professional cleaning service that has the appropriate equipment and expertise to remove all traces of the substance.
Not only is it important for the health and well-being of individuals who may enter the affected space, but also for any surfaces that may have been contaminated. A thorough tear gas cleanup will prevent any future exposure to the dangerous residue and provide peace of mind. Trusting the job to professionals like Bio-One of Chula Vista will ensure the proper disposal of any hazardous materials left behind.

Crime and trauma scene cleaning poses multiple health risks and public safety issues. From blood and body fluids residue to sharp objects and hazardous waste, these scenarios must be cleaned by professionals to avoid spreading diseases and infections.
After a police investigation is concluded and the coroners have left the scene, remnants from the event may linger in the area, and it’s important to have professionals clean and properly remediate the scenes from all biohazardous waste.
Bio-One of Chula Vista’s certified technicians are always available to help you remediate bloodborne pathogens and other bodily fluids found during a crime and trauma scene cleaning procedure. Attempting to clean these areas by yourself not only can be emotionally taxing but may be highly dangerous.
-Blood spills and bodily fluids - Blood carries diseases and can last on surfaces for long periods. Even after dry, bloodborne pathogens transmit diseases and infections via direct contact.
-Contaminated items/objects - Bloodborne pathogens linger on almost any surface; sometimes, the damage is irreversible. Bloodstains and bodily fluids residue can contaminate items, and it is up to certified technicians to determine whether those objects may be cleaned or if they must be discarded. Sharp objects, needles, bed sheets, furniture, upholstery… almost any surface may be contaminated in a traumatic scene. Bloodborne pathogens carry diseases like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
-Highly contaminated environments - Usually, dealing with unattended or undiscovered death entails taking care of the strong odors resulting from the decomposed body fluids.
After a police investigation is completed, Bio-One of Chula Vista's specialists arrive on the scene as the last responders to clean, disinfect, and decontaminate crime scenes from bloodborne pathogens and biohazardous material. Our specialists are caring, as we understand that these are typically the worst days of your life.

Bio-One of Chula Vista's specialists are trained to approach these situations with deep care and compassion. Following a tragedy or traumatic life event, cleaning and disinfecting properties from biohazards is crucial to guarantee the safety and health of the victim’s families and the people from common bloodborne diseases. We will make sure to restore areas to their preincident condition.
Exposure to blood and bodily fluids may result in dangerous diseases. Many people are constantly exposed to these biohazards, especially emergency responders and medical personnel. It’s important to avoid cleaning these fluids if you don’t have the proper knowledge or expertise, as it can lead to viruses and disease spreading.
When a traumatic event occurs on a residential or commercial property, emergency staff usually removes bodies and anything related to a police investigation: a crime scene, homicide, or undiscovered death… these situations require assistance from police enforcement and medical staff. After they leave the scene, thorough cleanups and disinfections must be conducted to restore areas from all biohazards resulting from blood and other bodily fluids.
Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms present in human blood and other bodily fluids that may carry diseases and infections. These microorganisms are present in sharp objects such as needles and other medical equipment. Emergency responders, medical personnel, and other healthcare workers are more exposed to these pathogens, and healthcare workers follow strict protocols to ensure their safety and the welfare of anyone near these contaminated areas.
While there are many bloodborne diseases like malaria, syphilis, and brucellosis, the CDC and NIOSH list three main infectious diseases as a concern for healthcare workers: Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
It’s a dangerous virus that affects the liver, and the primary source of exposure is via blood. Hepatitis B affects the liver, irritating it, and it can develop into more serious conditions like cirrhosis and liver cancer. Hepatitis symptoms are similar to flu-like symptoms (fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea). As the infection develops, people may develop jaundice, but other symptoms may not be noticeable within the first months.
The Hepatitis B virus is one of the most common bloodborne diseases; it can survive on dry blood for up to seven days. Our specialists will make sure to restore areas and surfaces impacted by blood, discarding any household items that may be infected.
Hepatitis C also affects the liver, and the infected persons can transmit other chronic liver diseases and other HCV-related diseases. HCV symptoms variate; some people don’t show them unless they are more affected by it. Common symptoms include jaundice, dark urine, and flu-like symptoms. More affected people may experience severe fatigue and chronic liver disease.
Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are common bloodborne diseases and can survive in blood residue for long periods. If your house or property has come across blood and other bodily fluids residue, Bio-One of Chula Vista specialists can help you restore and disinfect areas from bloodborne pathogens.
HIV causes AIDS or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. HIV affects the human immune system, but it can take years before symptoms actually develop and are noticeable. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS; without treatment, it’s fatal. While the virus is not as persistent as Hepatitis in terms of surviving in dried blood, emergency responders and personnel are constantly exposed to the disease via blood and bodily fluids. Having no cure, all precautions must be taken to avoid bloodborne diseases.
Blood and bodily fluids carry pathogens that may result in disease and infection outbreaks if not cleaned properly. Bio-One of Chula Vista is an expert in professional disinfection, decontamination, and sanitation. We follow rigorous procedures and use professional, EPA-approved chemicals to restore properties to their pre-incident conditions, especially if they have been impacted by blood and other fluids. Blood residue can linger on many surfaces, and it’s contagious, even after drying. Don’t expose your family or customers to these biohazards.
