      According to the original post, an area of 5 blocks was saturated in chemical irritants. I don’t think a leaf blower is going to do much.

      My question is - would a fine mister/sprinkler be capable ofntracking airborne particulates and bringing them down to the road?

        Not sure about tear gas but pepper spray is oil based (capsicum oil), so water probably wouldn’t work. iirc flooding the tear gas canisters stops the reaction/release of more gas. I think people were caring around cones, putting them on top of canisters then drenching the contents.

        On second thought, maybe some baby shampoo in the water sprayer/mister would be enough to grab onto the chili oils
