Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN)
Can be measured with:
✓ messbar mit dem air-Q Science auf Anfrage.
air-Qs with a sensor for Hydrogen Cyanide
Formation/Occurrence:
In chemistry/metallurgy, nitriding processes, from cyanide salts under acid influence, in fires of nitrogen-containing plastics.
Limit Values:
Very low workplace and short-term limit values (often in the low ppm range).
Effects:
Rapid onset — dizziness, convulsions, respiratory arrest; fatal within a short time at high exposure.
Note:
Specific antidotes (e.g. hydroxocobalamin) in emergencies; gas detection technology and training mandatory.
