TV series Fringe. Do airborne poisons exist?

[MathJakob]

Hello everyone, don't worry I'm not looking to kill someone haha I've been watching a TV series called Fring, it's great you should give it a try,

 

Anwyay in some of the episodes the criminals use poisions or toxins which are colourless, odorless and that travel through air, if you breath it in you die. I wanted to ask if poisons like this really exist? In one of the episodes he has some clear white liquid in a sealed glass bottle, he puts it in the air vent and takes the lid off so the fumes travel through the vent system and kill everyone. Just wondering if you could tell me the names of anything like this that actually exists.

 

Strictly for research purposes

 

Thanks.

Basically that's what chemical warfare is about. Wikipedia has a List_of_chemical_warfare_agents
