Security forces reportedly used expired tear gas shells to dispersed protesters in various parts of Imphal this week.

There are debates on whether expired tear gas shells are more dangerous or doesn't have any extra side effects. Various experts suggest expired tear gas could turn into something more dangerous — like cyanide, a fast-acting and potentially deadly chemical.

It is reported that outdated pyrotechnic items which include tear gas, are considered hazardous waste as per The Resources Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 and disposal of these items must be done in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency waste management regulations.
