gassings
Toxic vapor attacks
Gassings are instances of exposing people or animals to poison gas, typically as a method of execution or mass killing.
The word appears most often in historical contexts describing Nazi concentration camps: The gassings at Auschwitz killed over a million people.
It can also refer to pest extermination or industrial accidents involving toxic fumes.
