Inhalation Anesthetic

Clear, colorless, sweet-smelling liquids such as halothane and chloroform (Trichloromehane/CHC13). The vapors are often used to render a victim unconcious. Overdoses can be fatal and even regular use is damaging to most internal organs. Halothane is stored in dark containers, as it is subject to decomposition by ultraviolet light.
