Poison Gas - Engl 201-MT3-s08 Class Wiki Discovery of Poison Gas

In the years of Rice and Salt, khalid actually invented the poison gas by his experiments. Khalid also suggested that Nadir could use his discovery as a weapon against his enemies and military. His description of this gas is as under:

" Different constituents, perhaps, as in metals. Only all invisible to the eye. We smell the differences, sometimes. And some can kill, as the bottom of wells. It isn't an absence of air, in those cases, but a bad kind of air, or part of air. The heaviest no doubt. And different distillations, different burnings... you can suppress or stoke a fire ...Anyway, I thought that sal ammoniac and saltpeper and sulfhur mixed, would make a different air. And it did too, but too much of it, too fast. Like an explosion. And clearly a poison." (321)
