The acidic chemicals in the onion are released when slicing through its tissue, rise in the air along with heat and irritate your eyes by being absorbed through the cornea. Use a fan to blow the molecules away from your eyes to avoid irritation. Onions produce the chemical irritant known as syn-propanethial-S-oxide. It stimulates the eyes' lachrymal glands so they release tears. Scientists used to blame the enzyme allinase for the instability of substances in a cut onion.
