Prussic acid? Perhaps it's just some oddworldian alternative and the developers never really thought about what the gas was. Then again, maybe the gas is an allegory? But yuh, maybe prussic acid?
I think they clearly referred to the russian-german concentration camps(at least in oddysee).
At that time both used Cianidric acid (also called Prussic acid), though this gas is colorless and without a smell scientists always used to add coulour and bad smell for assurance purposes.

By the way i'm a chemist too so i kind of undersand your meticulous approch Jango.
