Eddy, I suppose the most poisonous material is a virus where 1 virus particle that invades a cell and starts reproducing a lethal disease is it. You could have a billion on a pinhead, then there is the distribution problem. A nerve gas cannot be made that is more poisonous than the sarin type since there are a certain number of nerve sites and it takes a certain amount of gas(15MG) to stop enough to cause death when breathed. Many spider and other animal poisons are a lot more toxic but they are fluids or solids and enormously complex to make, possibly once they solve the problem of making protein synthisizing via DNA they will be able to make tonnage. Still a delivery problem as they are partivcles and a simple mask will filter them out. A true gas needs an adsorption gas mask to purify the air, that is why the small molecules of sarin that are gaseuous enough to do this are so good at their jobs. Hydrogen Sulphide is another good poison gas, 100 times as poisonous as carbon monoxide...but is stinks so much people are warned. carbon monoxide are odourless and people do not know they are dying until it is too late. I epxect Libya will be taken out. They need to be taken out. Iraq? probably them as well. Now the USA is awakened they will not be deterred. Bill That photo of senfgas is a blister gas, probably mustard gas which causes those blisters be severing the connections between the layers of the skin chemically and the internal serum pressure of the body inflates the blisters. The same thing happens when you run and soft skin, the friction separates the skin layers and the body serum pressure inflates the blister. Cantharides, another blistering agent, does the same thing and it is used to remove warts.
