Students involved in the PMF protest blockade announced on social media that their laboratory analysis confirmed that the police used both gases during the protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CN gas was first created in Germany in 1871, and Japan used it against Chinese people during its occupation of the country in the 1930s. Although similar to CS gas, CN can be dangerous to the eyes, cause corneal damage, and affect the lungs due to its higher toxicity. It is significantly more dangerous, which is why it has been banned in almost all countries. CS acts faster, triggers a stronger but short-lived reaction, and is considered less harmful to long-term health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of these health risks, CN was phased out in the 1970s and completely replaced by the milder CS gas, which became the standard in many countries for police and military operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protesting students wrote: \u201cOur message is clear: the use of CN gas is not a means of control but amounts to poisoning your own citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, students are demanding an investigation and criminal responsibility for \u201cthose who allowed the use of such a dangerous gas.\u201d They have advised citizens and police officers to use masks with filters, as only these provide protection against CN and CS gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo the Ministry of Interior and all relevant authorities, we say that we are ready to submit some of our collected samples for further analysis. We are not afraid of the truth and stand by our results. Will you finally show courage and transparency, or will you continue to hide what the public has the right to know?\u201d the students asked in their post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the methodology of their analysis, students say they collected several dozen unmarked canisters that were deployed on September 5 in Novi Sad. They note that some of the canisters clearly showed signs that the labels were removed. The students added that all analyses were conducted using the same method applied in all accredited laboratories worldwide, employing gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
