As far as I’m aware the verdict is still out on the long term effects so I’m not sure “temporary” is accurate.

The fact that it seemed to be impacting women’s menstrual cycles in my city makes me concerned about long term issues related to exposure (fertility among them): https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/01/us/period-tear-gas-study-...

Clearly this needs some study.

It’s certainly true that the people exposed to this gas are not currently dead, I’ll give you that.
