The amount of gas actually used usually wasn't enough to do anything so they became redundant. These were fired out of artillery shells (along with every gas in the war).]]> 2021-05-27 21:19:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566693181 jadensaechao https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566697472 Chlorine: A choking agent that produces a greenish-yellow cloud. Inflicts damage to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. At high concentrations and prolonged exposure it can cause death by asphyxiation (loss/lack of oxygen due to abnormal breathing).]]> 2021-05-27 21:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566697472 jadensaechao https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566709028 Phosgene: Made by the French, it was colorless and scentless and was six times deadlier than chlorine. Soldiers affected by phosgene did not know and after a day or two, their lungs would fill with fluid and they would die a painful death. Phosgene is responsible for over 80% of chemical weapon deaths during WW1.]]> 2021-05-27 21:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566709028 jadensaechao https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566713707 Mustard Gas: The most notorious gas weapon during this time, produced by Germany, causes severe internal and external bleeding, skin blisters, blindness, and vomiting. It can be fatal in high doses. It was dense enough to pollute the ground and become a "liquid" staining battlefields for days. It caused the most casualties during the war, but was limited by open air making it almost non-lethal. ]]> 2021-05-27 21:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566713707 jadensaechao https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566731952 January 1915
Germans fired 18,00 shells of tear gas at Russians and it did nothing. The chemicals froze and did not release gas upon their enemy.]]> 2021-05-27 21:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566731952 jadensaechao https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566740646 Germans used chlorine to attack French trenches. The French broke ranks and scattered, leaving an opening into the trenches. However, the opening couldn't be pushed as the gas lingered and German troops were hesitant to run through it.]]> 2021-05-27 21:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566740646 jadensaechao https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566778003 As a result of all the use of and death caused by chemical weapons, the Geneva Protocol was created and prohibited the use of chemical weapons in warfare, however they were still able be developed.]]> 2021-05-27 22:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jadensaechao/g9cb40euk6e1y2kp/wish/1566778003
