I dont get how the toxic gas works


There appears to be some sort of thick wall of gas. People on one side will be completely unaffected but people 5 feet in front of them will be dead or dying. This happens probably 10 times in the movie. No way the outdoor air in a field is THAT different within a 10 foot radius. People also seem to instantly snap into their dead state. If it were flowing air, wouldn’t they be affected one by one as the gas hits each person individually? I don’t understand how it works.
