The airborne contaminant kills almost everyone in the town, the laboratory animals, and the jet pilot in just seconds. When the capsule recovery team and later the scientist first enters Piedmont, there are live vultures flying over the town at night and later eating the corpses of the townspeople the next day. Dr. Stone is even concerned enough that the contamination is going to be spread, so they drop a double dose of gas canisters to kill the birds. They don't check the wind direction or have any concern that someone might still be alive in the town before they leave the helicopter to recover the capsule and do their investigations, because the gas is only toxic to animals with an unusually fast metabolism such as birds and does not harm mammals.
