A couple of different gasses were used.

The first gas used was a tear gas containing xylyl bromide.

More dangerous gasses included chlorine, phosgene and diphosgene which attacked the lungs.

The most notorious was mustard gas - Dichlorethylsulphide - a blistering gas. Not only would it attack the lungs, but it also attacked skin, burning exposed flesh and causing lungs to bleed.
