poison gas
Airborne chemical weapon
Poison gas is a toxic chemical substance in gaseous form used as a weapon, designed to injure or kill through inhalation or skin contact.
The term evokes the horrors of World War I trench warfare, where mustard gas and chlorine caused mass casualties.
Modern conventions ban its use, though violations persist: The regime was accused of deploying poison gas against civilians.
