I think they (read: Glukkons) have a factory somewhere, where they (read: Sligs that are being ordered by Glukkons) extract farts from Mudokons, and use that. A single fart doesn't kill you (as long as you don't let it explode), but a whole lot of it does, takes away the air, so you can't breath and suffocate.

I agree that farts do contain toxic hydrogen sulfide gas, thus killing Abe if he were exposed to large quantities.
But if Abe couldn't breath (i.e: air taken away), then he would last longer in the gas before he dies. The fact that he is choking shows that the gas is killing him, not the lack of oxygen. However Mudokons may have a tiny lung capacity, which would explain why.
