These are the things you should do once you become aware that you need to protect yourself from a toxic gas chemical:
If there's no safe building nearby, try to determine the direction of the wind and move cross-wind. If you move down-wind you risk remaining exposed to the gas for a longer time. If you move up-wind you risk entering a more dense cloud of the gas. By moving cross-wind you have the greatest chance of getting out of the cloud quickly because the gas will move with the wind along a relatively narrow line.
Gracias!

en dirección perpendicular al viento
Me parece lo más claro y natural. Por lo tanto:
determine the direction of the wind and move cross-wind.
--> determinar la dirección del viento y desplázate perpendicularmente a él
If you move down-wind...
-->Si avanzas a favor del viento...
If you move up-wind
-->Si avanzas contra el viento...
By moving cross-wind...
-->Al desplazarte en dirección perpendicular al viento...
