Best Answer

Both sides in WW1 used several gases, but chlorine and phosgene were the commonest inhaled agents, but mustard gas, a blistering agent affected tsssues which it touched so that skin was rapidly blistered by exposure. After WW2 nerve gases were available in addition but most countries signed agreement not to use any of them. Along with this the use of flame throwers used by both sides was given up. In recent years some nerve gases have been used mostly in the Middle East, but widespread use of poisonous gases has been avoided by mutual agreement bewteeen nations in the UN.
