It could be a propaganda piece for all we know or a less noxious choking agent, Chlorine
It could also be a vomiting agent that causes irritation to the lungs and digestive track

The videos, experts said, also did not prove the use of chemical weapons, which interfere with the nervous system and can cause defecation, vomiting, intense salivation and tremors. Only some of those symptoms were visible in some patients.

The video is definitely shocking, as is the whole situation. It looks as though people are backing down from initial accusations though.
