Previously I have used the term WMD, in other posts not giving a generalization of why that's inheritable bad. The abbreviation W.M.D is short for Weapons of Mass Destruction and rightfully named so. Few weapons exist in this damage the get that title but it's enough to warrant international attention. There are three types of W.M.Ds in the world: Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear. Each will be explained and will show how the toxic gas in the show is considered a WMD. 
First, biological WMDs, the first instance of those were the smallpox blankets back in the 1700s given to the natives. They are generally easy to create which is their biggest threat, they attack via contact of skin, gastrointestinal, and pulmonary. These attacks are made from bacterial agents, anthrax, or Q fever. People who make these are usually alone and not aligned with a group in a particular way.
Chemical weapons have been around since the old Chinese Dynasties, with things like arsenic gas being used. Other gases like in both World Wars are considered WMDs too considering the amount of damage and casualties they caused. Though not as efficient as biological weapons, the gas in The Code is more close to a chemical weapon than a biological one.
Last is Nuclear weapons, those are the ones that everyone is scared of and have sirens at the ready to try and leave the area. The gas in The Code is between Nuclear (as it came from Nuclear waste) and chemical as it was in the form of an easy-to-move gas. That's types of weapons are what makes areas, homes, and cities uninhabitable for a long time, just like Chernobyl.
