Chlorine bombings in Iraq Chlorine bombings in Iraq began as early as October 2006 , when insurgents in Al Anbar province started using chlorine gas in conjunction with conventional vehicle - borne explosive devices . The inaugural chlorine attacks in Iraq were described as poorly executed , probably because much of the chemical agent was rendered nontoxic by the heat of the accompanying explosives . Subsequent , more refined , attacks resulted in hundreds of injuries , but have proven not to be a viable means of inflicting massive loss of life . Their primary impact has therefore been to cause widespread panic , with large numbers of civilians suffering non life - threatening , but nonetheless highly traumatic , injuries . Chlorine was used as a poison gas in World War I , but was delivered by artillery shell , unlike the modern stationary or car bombs . Still , its function as a weapon in both instances is similar . Low level exposure results in burning sensations to the eyes , nose and throat , usually accompanied by dizziness , nausea and vomiting . Higher levels of exposure can cause fatal lung damage ; but because the gas is heavier than air it will not dissipate until well after an explosion , it is generally considered ineffective as an improvised chemical weapon .
