Gases which are denser than normal air and which will sink to lower levels in an enclosed space. These gasses will displace the normal oxygen containing air. A leak of this type of gas within an enclosed room could end up suffocating anyone in the room, as the 'air' that they'd be breathing would not contain enough oxygen for them to survive.
