Fentanyl is deadly in microgram doses, for it makes people stop breezing. Russians weaponized fentanyl into a gas and used it to disable Chechen terrorists in the Moscow theater hostage crisis in 2002 [0]. It was so effective that besides the terrorists some hostages died before an antidote could be administered.

It was so effective that besides the terrorists some hostages died before an antidote could be administered. This is somewhere between myth and outright fiction. There is zero evidence that fentanyl or its derivatives were responsible for any deaths. The claim that fentanyl was responsible is based on a single study which claimed to find fentanyl on one sample of clothing and in the urine of two survivors ten years after the incident happened, something which has & far more plausible explanations.
