Mustard Gas = Chlorine gas.  First used by the Germans in WW-I.  I think that
my grandfather got a dose of it.  Vague family history.  Because chlorine has
many common industrial uses, it's manufactured in great quantities.  Easy to
turn it into a weapon.  Not a terribly effective weapon though outside of
military trenches.  Mustard/Chlorine gas is heavy and hugs the ground.
