the gas in question i believe is the same gas that ben used to kill all the dharma people.
this gas was being held on the island i think as a defence system. it is assumed that ben would use it to kill anyone who invaded the island. harper told juliette to stop dan and charlotte, saying that if they release the gas they will kill everyone. but their intent was not to release the gas, it was to render it inert. meaning, changing it's chemical properties so that it's not dangerous anymore. making it useless to ben.
but juliette didn't know that until she got there. then dan told her we are not going to release it we are going to make it safe so ben can't use it to kill everyone and juliette wasn't sure if she was going to believe them or not but then she did believe them.
sorry, run on sentence.
