Actually neither, like many other chemical weapons "mustard gas" is a liquid that is dispensed as an aerosol (many fine droplets suspended in air) by a sprayer (somewhat similar in principle to a hairspray can or a spray paint can, except typically enclosed in an artillery shell).As these tiny droplets either land on skin or are inhaled they are absorbed by the tissue and blister it.
How does the chlorine an mustard gas effect the soldiers?
A chemical agent that attacks the skin and eyes, mustard gas is one of the best known and most potent chemical weapons. It causes severe blisters and, if inhaled, can damage the lungs and other organs. It is usually disabling-sometimes gruesomely so-but not fatal. Unlike other chemical agents, mustard gas does not produce immediate effects; symptoms of exposure appear one to six hours later. This makes mustard gas especially insidious, as victims can suffer tissue damage before they even realize they need treatment. Mustard gas also attacks a cell's DNA, increasing the risk of cancer and birth defects. Mustard gas is a blister agent, which limits its appeal as a weapon because it is less likely to prove deadly than nerve agents like sarin and VX. But depending on the level of exposure, mustard gas can also leave victims with more lasting injuries.
What gas inhaled?
