The lethality of mustard gas, a chemical warfare agent, depends on several factors, including the concentration of the gas, the duration of exposure, and individual susceptibility. Even small amounts, particularly in concentrated forms, can cause severe harm or death, especially if inhaled. Generally, exposure to concentrations as low as 50 parts per million (ppm) can lead to serious health effects, while higher concentrations can be fatal within minutes. Immediate medical attention is crucial for any exposure to this toxic agent.

What years was poison gas used in world war 1?

I believe it was late 1914 to 1915. The Germans used mustard gas alongside chlorine gas. The chlorine gas was extremely poisonous especially if breathed in, and could kill instantly. The Germans actually wiped out all the French soldiers with chlorine gas. And mustard gas was a yellowish- brown coloured gas that when it touched open skin, it would make the skin blister and it would eat away at it. The reason it's called mustard gas is cause it had the smell of grainy mustard.
