Infamously used on an industrial scale by the UsefulNotes/{{Nazi|Germany}}s during UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust. Also employed as an execution method in several of UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates, and still on the books as a method of execution in six states, although no American prisoner has been gassed from 1999 to 2024, states have largely shifted to lethal injection.

** After many states have had trouble obtaining lethal injection drugs and European nations refusing to furnish said drugs, a handful of states have introduced the use of nitrogen asphyxiation as an execution method, with Oklahoma being the first to adopt it as their primary method in 2018. The argument for using this method includes the fact that it's already in use in a veterinary context to euthanize terminally ill pets, and that unlike the cyanide gas chamber or even lethal injection, it is far less likely to go horribly awry and is believed to be essentially painless.

* "Literature/FarBelow": Inspector Craig mentions that one method the Subway Special Detail has employed to kill ghouls was the blocking up of one mile of a tunnel and filling the enclosure with poison gas. They only did it once because it didn't pay off.

** Shower rooms in some German Asylums, sealed to make them airtight and piping in carbon monoxide produced as industrial byproducts, during the 1939-41 ''T-4'' Involuntary Euthanasia programme for German citizens with congenital disabilities and mental illnesses. Organised through the Chancellory office.
** Converted vans utilising carbon-monoxide exhaust at Riga and the Kulmhof (Polish: Chelmno nad Nerem, Chelmno-upon-Ner - to distinguish from another Chelmno less than 100 miles away) extermination facility and typical gas chambers using carbon monoxide-rich exhaust fumes from a large engine at Belzec, Treblinka and Sobibor death camps during the 1942-3 ''Operation Reinhard'' to dispose of the non-skilled Jews of Greater Germany and the ''Generalgouvernement'' (Poland). These were retired upon the successful completion of the programme. Organised by [=SSPFs=] (regional SS and Police Chiefs) on a district-by-district basis. Incidentally, ThoseWackyNazis got the gas van idea from the [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn Soviet Union]], where the NKVD used a similar method to execute dissidents during ThePurge under UsefulNotes/JosefStalin.
** Two, and later four, faux 'shower rooms' were built at the Auschwitz-II/Birkenau extermination facility to dispose of "undesirables" rendered "unfit" by disease, overwork, and underfeeding while being rented out as slaves to various German companies responsible for their welfare. The gas the Nazis used was Zyklon-B, a cyanide-based pesticide that was made in the 20s, and was responsible for killing more than one million people there this way. The facilities were partially demolished during the second week of the Soviet ''Vistula-Oder'' Offensive of January 1945 and were discovered by Soviet forces on the 27th of January. In their haste to leave with the Fit-for-work inmates, the Security Police abandoned 1.2 million sets of clothing and 8 tons of human hair. Extermination facilities were built by the SS Main Construction Office and operated by the SS Concentration Camp Office.
