Poison Gas is a term for various lethal or temporarily disabling gaseous substances used in riot and warfare. The term chemical warfare includes the use of poison gases, as well as incendiary materials and smoke producing devices. Gas masks and heavy, gas proof clothing protect adequately against most poisonous gases.

Types of Gases Used against Humans:
- Blister Gases like mustard gas was first used by the German Army in WWI, it was the most lethal of all the poisonous chemicals used during the war and it was almost odorless and took twelve hours to take effect. Mustard gas often remains on the ground for several days. This gas produces a reddening of the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes, followed by blisters. The bronchial tubes are irritated, and pneumonia usually develops. Mustard gas, which is lethal only in heavy concentrations, is used to incapacitate troops.
- Choking Gases like chlorine, phosgene, and diphosgene, attack the respiratory tract. Chlorine was first used in WWI, it destroy the respiratory of its victims (it produces quick irritation and choking) and this led to a slow death by asphyxiation. The immediate effect of phosgene and diphosgene is less noticeable, but the lungs slowly fill with fluids and the victim suffocates within a few days.
- Nerve Gases, such as Tabun (or GA), Sarin(or GB), and Soman (or GD), are colorless, odorless, and tasteless. These gases destroy the normal functioning of nerves and muscles. It can be easily absorbed through the skin by means of inhalation, or ingestion. The victim dies within a few minutes after the poisons enter the blood.
Symptoms includes: Runny nose, Bronchial secretions, Tightness in the chest, Blurring of vision, Pin-Point Pupils, Drooling, Excessive perspiration
, Nausea, Vomiting, involuntary defecation, urination, muscle tremors, convulsions, Coma, Death

What are the types of toxic gases?
Some common types of toxic gases include carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), and chlorine (Cl2). These gases can be harmful when inhaled in high concentrations and can cause a range of health issues or even be fatal in extreme cases. It is important to be aware of potential sources of toxic gases and take precautions to prevent exposure.

What are some good types of fluid dymanics?
Aerodynamics and hydrodynamics are some good types of fluid dynamics. Hydrodynamics is the study of fluids in motion while aerodynamics is that study of air and gases in motion.
What is the 3 types of gasses?
The three main types of gases are inert gases (such as helium and neon), noble gases (such as argon and xenon), and greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and methane). Each type of gas has different properties and roles in the environment.
What types of gases does a gas leak detector detect?
A gas leak detector can detect a variety of gases, such as natural gas (methane), propane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and others depending on the specific detector model. These devices are designed to sense the presence of potentially harmful or combustible gases in indoor or outdoor environments.
