From the book

A way to deliver any poison as a cloud. The alchemist adds 6 drs. of any one poison or toxic powder to the dust base, and the result has exactly the effects of the poison used, lasting as long as that poison normally would. One dose covers a 10-foot cube, and victims may attempt a save vs Constitution where the poison allows it.
