- ChemNote: Cyanide Poisoning | ChemSee
Although the yield of cyanides in these processes is not large, enough cyanide can be recovered to poison a person since the quantity needed is very small Some victims who die due to smoke inhalation and fire actually die from breathing excess HCN
- Cyanide poisoning - Wikipedia
Cyanide poisoning is poisoning that results from exposure to any of a number of forms of cyanide [4] Early symptoms include headache, dizziness, fast heart rate, shortness of breath, and vomiting [2]
- Harvard University Researcher Says Coffee Was Poisoned on Purpose
Toxicology results, he said, showed the coffee contained a "very high concentration" of sodium azide, a powerful chemical preservative that can be fatal in high doses, causing respiratory failure "All the research labs have it," Iannacone said "It's very common "
- The Chemistry of Cyanide Poisoning and Why it Kills - ThoughtCo
How much cyanide is too much depends on the route of exposure, the dose, and the duration of exposure Inhaled cyanide presents a greater risk than ingested cyanide
- Cyanide Poisoning • LITFL • CCC Toxicology
Cyanide is concentrated 10 fold by RBCs, therefore whole blood levels give the best information on the potential for a toxic level
- Case File 9 - Education Technology | Texas Instruments
Based on the concentration of KCN in the poison that you calculated in question 3, determine the approximate volume of poison that the victim would have to have swallowed for it to have killed him
- Cyanide poisoning - WikiLectures
The salts are also highly lethal, the lethal dose of KCN (potassium cyanide) is 100-250 mg (on the tip of a knife) Over time, the toxicity of the salts decreases, because thanks to the CO 2 in the air, they turn into carbonates

Tissue levels of cyanide can be measured if cyanide poisoning is suspected, but cyanide is rapidly cleared from the body, so the tests must be done soon after the exposure
