In Breaking Bad, Walter White warns that a mistake in a makeshift laboratory could produce deadly mustard gas. But can an ordinary chemical reaction accidentally create one of history’s most notorious chemical weapons? In this episode of Sitcom Science, we explore the chemistry of toxic gases, the terrifying history of mustard gas, and the science behind dangerous laboratory accidents. We also examine how Breaking Bad connects chemistry to medicine, military history, criminal investigations, and the psychology of Walter White.
