Talk:Gas chamber

Inert gas inhalation

I don't know how relevant that section is to this article. The nitrogen execution was carried out through a mask and not through a gas chamber. It may have some relevance because a gas chamber is a possible way to carry it out, but it's not the way it's done. At least it should be specified that Kenneth Smith's execution was not done in a gas chamber.--SRuizR 00:28, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit Request: "Invasion of Russia" to "Invasion of the Soviet Union"

It is well known that the Germans invaded the USSR beyond just the Russian SFSR. The sentence in question is regarding the use of gas vans during Barbarossa. Gas vans were used by the four main Einsatzgruppen, and the following source names them as present in Riga. [1]https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/gas-vans

I believe this small but significant change is important for historical accuracy. 2001:569:5186:6800:4C75:CE9F:4AF1:3F33 (talk) 00:01, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

 Done Thanks for that, I agree it should say Soviet Union. AusLondonder (talk) 01:51, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request: Gas chambers used in animal slaughter

Gas chambers are in widespread use today as part of the slaughtering process of farmed animals. That information seems to be missing and is relevant. Can someone review and add this suggested addition?

Today, gas chambers are still used at scale in the slaughter process of pigs and chickens. This approach allows small groups to be gassed instead of individually as is the case with other stunning methods. The high concentration CO2 gas typically used is highly aversive and painful however[A], and still takes at least 30-60 seconds to stun pigs in test conditions[B][C]. In 2022 in England and Wales, 88% of pigs killed in a slaughterhouse were stunned with this high conetration CO2 method[D]. Chickens, both broiler and spent egg laying hens, are also frequently stunned in slaughterhouse gas chambers, though with a lower CO2 mixure.

In 2022 in England and Wales, 88% of pigs and over 80% of chickens killed in a slaughterhouse were stunned in gas chambers [D].

Change "The gas is visible to the condemned, who" to "The condemned". Hydrogen cyanide is a colorless gas,[2] so it would be invisible. That334 (talk) 19:24, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
