As for CS gas, it attacks and inflames exposed mucous membranes.
The best homemade solution for protecting lungs is a wet but separated barrier, like being wrapped in wet towels. Oiled rags work decently too and do not need to be moistened repeatedly.
If inhaled, apply amyl acetate inhalant stick to help with breathing.
You will need tight glasses to protect eyes, eg. swimming goggles.
Temporarily you can cover them with said wet barrier but that loses you vision and is mostly useful for passing area of gas.
Immersing or tightly covering the source will prevent it from spreading the gas. Careful, it's hot, do not use anything flammable.
Of course a real gas mask with filters or P95 (or better) respirator plus goggles is better for protecting lungs. (N level respirators for dust won't work.)
