Exposure to illuminating gas, which contains toxic substances like carbon monoxide, can lead to asphyxiation by displacing oxygen in the bloodstream. This can result in symptoms like dizziness, confusion, and ultimately, death by suffocation if the gas is inhaled in high concentrations. Immediate removal from the contaminated environment and seeking medical attention is crucial to prevent fatality.

Why do you need to inhale argon?

I don't think there is a biological need to inhale argon, and the element has been linked to asphyxiation, but if one were to desire to do so, it would be because argon exists as a gas at room temperature, as the melting and boiling point are -189.35 Celsius and -185.85 Celcius, respectively.

Why was chlorine gas used for?

In World War one the German army used it as an effective way of killing the Allied troops without ever getting close. Here this might help. Chlorine gas destroyed the respiratory organs of its victims and this led to a slow death by asphyxiation. One nurse described the death of one soldier who had been in the trenches during a chlorine gas attack. "He was sitting on the bed, fighting for breath, his lips plum coloured. He was a magnificent young Canadian past all hope in the asphyxia of chlorine. I shall never forget the look in his eyes as he turned to me and gasped: I can't die! Is it possible that nothing can be done for me?" It was a horrible death, but as hard as they tried, doctors were unable to find a way of successfully treating chlorine gas poisoning.
