      One of the most lethal chemicals that has ever been made by humans is a nerve gas called VX – a horrible thing!

      In terms of things we use in the lab, hydrogen cyanide is probably the most commonly used lethal gas, although there are more exotic things like boron trifluoride that are also really nasty.
