Such weapons would be developed to act quickly and disperse, so it would only spread in an estimated radius allowing the enemy to move in soon after.
Chemical agents which disperse quickly are known as 'non-persistent'. Developed exactly for the reason you describe. Quick entry into an area after non persistent chemical agent employment. Persistent agents, on the other hand, are those which linger in one place for a long time. Persistent agents require extensive decontamination procedures before the area is even inhabitable again.
Here is a little known fact............ the U.S. Army has had a program for years in which selected soldiers are taken into a chamber with actual, live nerve agents. Of course they have MOPP gear on. It's more or less a confidence exercise. It proves that the personal level defenses are really effective. No one has died yet
I'm not talking about CS chamber training. The particular program I refer to is part of the NBC school for the MOS specific job holders.
Chemical weapons are nothing to joke about. Should this type of weapon ever be used against us, I'd most definitely modify my views on nuclear weapon usage.
