cyanogen chloride

cyanogen chloride

Toxic nerve gas of World War I. It acts on the nerve centres, particularly those controlling breathing, causing rapid paralysis and death.

It was introduced by the French October 1916 to replace hydrocyanic acid. At low concentrations it acts as a tear gas and lung irritant but prolonged exposure even at this level can be lethal due to lung damage.
