Nerve gasses were used in the trenches because they were denser than air, and when released would sink and fill the trenches where the gasses blew. The gasses would, essentially, kill you entirely if you breathed them in, so soldiers had to wear chemical gear including gas masks and the like. Often soldiers would not be able to put on the gear fast enough and fall victim to the gasses, and often the side who released the gas would be surprised by a change in wind direction and be killed by their own gasses.
* Chlorine - most expensive, yellow cloud * Phosgene - * Mustard - cheap, colourless and odourless * White star - phosgene + chlorine Gas was originally against the rules of WW1. French were first to use it. Killed many with minimal effort. Could backfire due to weather conditions (wind blowing wrong way) Chlorine's yellow cloud was mistaked for a smoke screen. * Austria-Hungary: 100,000 casaulties, 3000 deaths. * British empire: 188,706 casaulties; 8,109 deaths. * France: 190,00 casaulties; 8000 deaths. * Germany: 200,000 casaulties; 9000 deaths. * Italy: 60,000 casaulties; 4,627 deaths. * Russia: 419,340 casaulties; 56,000 deaths. * USA: 72,807 casaulties; 1,462 deaths. * Others: 10,000 casaulties; 1000 deaths.
Phosgene caused the most deaths, but more Cholorine was manufactured than any other gas during the war. Mustard Gas, which would burn a soldier's skin and would cause death only in high doses, was probably the most widely known and effective gas used.
Chlorine ( Greenish Colour) phosgene (invisible) diphosgene (invisible) all of these were deadly and attacked the lungs. Tear Gas Caused Tempory Blindness and inflamed the nose and throat of the victim. Mustard Gas Most feared of all gases in ww1
the type of gas witch was used in ww1 was gases such as mustard , phasgene , chlorine (lethal) ect .
The first gas to be used, by the Germans against Allied forces, was mustard gas. However, Chlorine was also used, as was the much deadlier Phosgene gas which was developed by the British.
It was just hot air, ie heated by flame. You might be thinking of the Zeppelin, where hydrogen (boom!) and Helium (rare) were used
