Only the Barracks and the van got gassed, as far as we know. I doubt the gas spread out THAT far before it dissipated. As long as Danielle wasn't anywhere near those two locations, she'd have been fine.

From Mikhail's tale, I suspect The Purge was around 1994, ten years prior to current Island events. But everyone's just guessing as to the when--unless and until Darlton coughs up the date. I am NOT holding my breath.

Because it was a different gas.

I place the first Incident--which necessitated the button-pushing--around 1979 (since the Swan orientation film was dated 1980).

There was a big falling-out incident between Hanso and DeGroot in 1985 (according to the hatch door map). Cerberus (aka Smokey) went out of control around that time, too. The two are probably connected.

There are several times--right up to recently--that Dharmatel had breakdowns. I guess maybe now, after the purple sky, it's down completely? Except, apparently, for short-circuit TV (at the Hydra) and the Looking Glass station.

I've put The Purge around 1994--ten years previously (it is 2004 on the Island now). Mikhail arrived in 1993, as a Dharma employee. But made his own deal with the Hostiles. One of "the smart ones," as Ben put it.

All we can do is conjecture based on what we know or have been told. This is the best timeline I can come up with.

Well, Danielle's sole goal all these years (besides survival) seems to have been capturing AN Other and finding out where Alex is. They seem to have been on to this, though, as it took her 16 years to capture Ben, and he DELIBERATELY allowed that!
