Tear gas: Applications, Effects & Uses
Tear gas, also known as a lachrymatory agent or lachrymator (from Latin lacrima 'tear'), sometimes colloquially known as "mace" after the early commercial self-defense spray, is a chemical weapon that stimulates the nerves of the lacrimal gland in the eye to produce tears. In addition, it can cause severe eye and respiratory pain, skin irritation…

Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For Tear gas, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects Tear gas with Overview. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
