At the time, choosing to create sustained hazardous conditions in areas for hours or days, military units in Europe experimented with a variety of techniques for the employment of gas in fighting. ]]> 2018-09-04 03:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/23acelynnq1_2/tn6c66tzwusk/wish/277410467 Soldiers shooting gas bombs towards the opposing army 23eunicel1_2 https://padlet.com/23acelynnq1_2/tn6c66tzwusk/wish/277410557 2018-09-04 03:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/23acelynnq1_2/tn6c66tzwusk/wish/277410557 Gas Casualties 23acelynnq1_2 https://padlet.com/23acelynnq1_2/tn6c66tzwusk/wish/277412909 France: 130,000

At first the soldiers used cotton pad masks or hanker-chief that was soaked in urine because the ammonia was discovered that it would neutralie the chlorine. 
Later on they used gas masks or anti asphyxiation respirators which were a better way of protecting themselves from the rival army.

The Germans developed and manufactured artillery shells filled with tear gas and others then used them first against the British at Neuve-Chapelle in October 1914. The case with chemical agents in the weapons were ineffective. 

The attack at Ypres on 22 April 1915 was the first successful instance of gas warfare during the First World War. Instead of artillery shells or other projectiles, that have been used previously, German soldiers under the direction of Fritz Haber released chlorine gas from storage cylinders and the wind carried the large gas cloud west across “No Man's Land” The attack was devastating for the unprepared British, Canadian, French and Algerian defenders caught in the path of the chlorine.

were Chlorine, Phosgene and Mustard gas. Chlorine gas would create pain in the chest of the soliders and a burning sensation in the throat. Phosgene would cause throat and eye irritation and Mustard would burned the skin and lungs. ]]> 2018-09-06 10:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/23acelynnq1_2/tn6c66tzwusk/wish/278336186 How did militaries adapt to them? 23minnad2 https://padlet.com/23acelynnq1_2/tn6c66tzwusk/wish/278336212 The soldiers had to use protection against the gas so they used gas masks and later on they used anti-asphyxiation respirators. ]]> 2018-09-06 10:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/23acelynnq1_2/tn6c66tzwusk/wish/278336212 Are any of those chemical weapons still used today?
