Mustard gas is named for its yellow-brown color and its mustard-like odor. It is a chemical warfare agent, specifically a blistering agent, that was first used in World War I. The name reflects its appearance rather than its chemical composition, which is sulfur mustard. Its use in warfare has caused severe injuries and long-term health effects, making it notorious in military history.
