Several different poison gases were used in WW I; phosgene was the most lethal. Chlorine and lewisite were also used.Most of the gas used was either Chlorine Gas or Mustard GasHowever others were used as well including Tear Gas (bromide compounds) and Phosgene.
Chlorine, Mustard Gas, and Phosgene were all used. Chlorine irritates mucous membranes and causes suffocation, Mustard Gas causes blistering anywhere it contacts the body (externally or internally), and Phosgene destroys the pulmonary alveoli causing suffocation.
There was more than one kind. Phosgene, Chlorine, and Mustard Gas are three that I know of.

The common name for COCl2 is phosgene. It is a toxic gas that was used as a chemical weapon during World War I.

Phosgene gas can be turned into a liquid. Exposure to the gas or liquid form of phosgene can cause nausea, watery eyes, blurred vision, difficulty breathing, and coughing.
Phosgene has a sweet odor, similar to freshly cut hay or grass. However, it can be difficult to detect because its smell threshold is higher than its unsafe exposure level.
Phosgene is a chemical compound that is used in industry for producing plastics and pesticides. It is highly toxic and exposure can cause severe respiratory problems and even death. Phosgene was also used as a chemical weapon during World War I.
White Star was a poison gas combination of phosgene and chlorine that the Allies deployed. Phosgene was the more poisonous agent, and chlorine was used to disperse the gas on enemy trenches.
When chloroform combines with nitrogen in the presence of heat or sunlight, phosgene gas is formed. Phosgene is a toxic gas used in chemical warfare and as a chemical intermediate in industry. It is important to handle chloroform and nitrogen safely to avoid the formation of phosgene.
Phosgene is a chemical compound with the formula COCl2. It is a colorless gas used in chemical synthesis and as a chemical warfare agent.
Several different poison gases were used in WW I; phosgene was the most lethal. Chlorine and lewisite were also used.Most of the gas used was either Chlorine Gas or Mustard GasHowever others were used as well including Tear Gas (bromide compounds) and Phosgene.
The molar ratio between phosgene (COCl2) and chlorine gas (Cl2) is 1:2. Hence, if 3.00g of phosgene is produced, it will produce 1.50g of chlorine gas.
