Poison gas being spewed by some poison pillars
Poison Gas is a dangerous, green gas created by Spore Flowers, Poison Pillars, and Elite Gas Stingers, that deals 5 damage per second to the pioneer and some other creatures. The Gas Mask with Filters can be equipped to temporarily prevent taking damage from it. Spore Flowers, when detonated by Nobelisk, will stop producing poison gas. Removing the poison pillars is only possible since Update 8[1] (also by using Nobelisk), which is only available in experimental.
Some areas of the map are filled with poison gas without there being Spore Flowers, Poison Pillars, or any other source for it.
The screen becomes tinted red while in poison gas, even with the Gas Mask equipped. If in an Electric Locomotive or Hyper Tube, the screen will take on a yellow tint when passing through a visible gas cloud, but no damage will be taken.
Crash Sites, Power Slugs, Mercer Spheres and Somersloops are sometimes located in poison gas.

Trivia[]
- If the pioneer only stays in the poison gas for less than 1 second, then no damage will be taken.[citation needed]
- If the pioneer is within the radius of multiple sources of poison gas, they will take more damage than if stood within the radius of only one source.[2]
- Poison gas also deal damage to Hogs and Spitters, which can be observed around Crash Sites where creatures within gas die quickly.
