Title :Pepper spray
Objective : To know the function of pepper spray
Contents /procedures :
Pepper spray, also known as OC spray (from "Oleoresin Capsicum"), OC gas, and capsicum spray, is a lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness) used in policing, riot control, crowd control, and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs and bears.
Its inflammatory effects cause the eyes to close, taking away vision.
This temporary blindness allows officers to more easily restrain
subjects and permits persons using pepper spray for self-defense an
opportunity to escape.
The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chilis.
Extraction of oleoresin capsicum from peppers requires capsicum to be
finely ground, from which capsaicin is then extracted using an organic
solvent such as ethanol. The solvent is then evaporated, and the
remaining waxlike resin is the oleoresin capsicum. An emulsifier such as propylene glycol is used to suspend the OC in water, and pressurized to make it aerosol in pepper spray. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is used to measure the amount of capsaicin and major capsaicinoids within pepper sprays.
Result / Analysis :
Pepper spray is an inflammatory agent. It causes immediate closing of the eyes, difficulty breathing, runny nose, and coughing.The duration of its effects depends on the strength of the spray but the average full effect lasts around thirty to forty-five minutes, with diminished effects lasting for hours.
Conclusion :
For my project i will used the perfume as a substitute for pepper spray for safety.
