There is one link below the text, and there you might see the thing what is very problematic in the use of chemical weapons. In Douma, the used chemical agent was claimed to be Chlorine, what is actually stifling chemical, and the base purpose if use that chemical is the Chlorine just pulls air away, and it would stifle the persons, who are in the targeted area. If the Chlorine is in drip formation or it is used very large amount, could it sterilize the victim's skin, and that situation is very dangerous.
In that case, the mushrooms and bacteria would cause very dangerous skin infections. In the chemical warfare normally the Chlorine causes similar death than carbon monoxide, and the symptoms are similar than normal loss of oxygen. But in Douma case, the dust, what raises from the ground can cause choke of the victims, and the Chlorine is also sometimes used in thermobaric explosives, what are normally known as FAE (Fuel Air Explosives) or aerosol bombs.
The USA, Russia and many other countries have large numbers of those weapons in their arsenal. And the first time they were used in large numbers or they came to public knowledge was Vietnam war, where they were used by A-1 "Skyraiders" against Viet-Cong troops. After that those weapons are installed also in fast tactical airplanes.
Russia has been created also portable FAE-ammunition, what can shoot to target by using RPG-7 bazookas and other portable weapons like rifle mounted grenade launchers. I don't know does USA use similar portable FAE-weapon systems. But in Vietnam was also used portable acetylene bottles, what could be used against Viet-Cong tunnels, but were they in operational use is not reported.
Are some of those weapons does not explode, the Chlorine would deliver to the area like in the normal chemical attack. In this case, the malfunction of legal ammunition can cause the effect of the chemical attack. In aerosol bombs, the bomb delivers some high inflammable gas to air, and then the small detonator causes the ignition in that cloud, what can explode with the power of the small nuclear weapon.
The used chemical in this kind of weapons is normally some hydrocarbon, but also Chlorine is very usable for that purpose. That gas is very reactive, and it makes very good explosion effect. One reason for losing oxygen from the air could be the use of FAE-bombs, what causes the loss of oxygen because those ammunition uses the oxygen from the air to burn. Also, the large goal of napalm has the same effect.
The easiest way to make FAE-ammunition is to fill the canister with hydrocarbon or halogen gas like chlorine and drop them to targets with napalm bombs. And the napalm is sometimes used with that kind of FAE-bombs because that makes sure that those weapons would explode. Normally FAE-bombs are used because of their pressure effect, what is sharper than splinter bombs. That's one reason, why FAE bombs are sometimes wanted to classification as "inhumane weapons".
