gas chambers
Lethal vapor enclosures
Gas chambers are sealed rooms designed to kill occupants with poisonous gas.
The term is most associated with the Nazi Holocaust, where gas chambers were used for mass murder in concentration camps.
Gas chambers have also been used for executions in the United States: The state still permits death by gas chamber.
The singular form often appears attributively: gas chamber execution, gas chamber survivor.
