FYI the weird text on the top about 'cherry red' only applies to carbon monoxide poisoning, because the carbon monoxide loves to bind to your hemoglobin, becoming bright-red like it's super-oxygenated, but is almost impossible to peel off once its bound to it, which is how it kills you. Just pointing this out because the video is talking about nerve agents.
I will point out that nerve agents would be very poor choices for a 'gas chamber' though. Nerve agents are actually aerosolized oils, not quite 'airborne', so they precipitate and soak into porous surfaces and since they absorb through skin contact it would make removing and handling dead bodies extremely dangerous and risky for all involved. Concrete is highly porous so nobody would be able to even touch the surfaces inside without protection.
That isn't to say there aren't other options but nerve agents wouldn't be the ideal choice to deliver that way anyway. Really though carbon monoxide would be the easiest and safest since it can be safely vented for personnel access later. It's also the easiest to synthesize on-site.
