Poison Gas Attacks
![Page 18: World War I “The Great War” - wheeler1976.weebly.com](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012512/618b66c43b62823b93474cf9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The three main types of Poison Gas
Chlorine - a greenish, yellow heavier than air gas which in its
pure form is an oxidizing agent. This means that it will react in the presence of water to cause a chemical burning effect on organic matter.
Phosgene - a colorless, odorless, heavier than air gas formed
by heating carbon tetrachloride. It is highly poisonous in that it will preferentially replace oxygen in the cells and quickly causes an oxygen debt within the body, unconsciousness and death.
Mustard gas - gas with a distinctive mustard smell, it causes
blistering and huge sores on any exposed tissue, internal or external.
