So, the two gasses of suffocating odors are respectively sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide ( SO3). The green solid being ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) which on heating releases the two mentioned gasses. On dissolution with water these oxides of sulfur form acids. That is why the solution turns blue litmus to red.

This can be shown in the following reaction:
2FeSO4  Fe2O3 +SO2 (g)+ SO3(g)
2SO2 + 2H2 2H2SO3
 

Hence, The compounds are FeSO4,, Fe2O3, SO2, SO3
