Food: Hydrogen cyanide (AC) can be used to contaminate food.Water: Hydrogen cyanide (AC) can be used to contaminate water.Indoor Air: Hydrogen cyanide (AC) can be released into indoor air as a liquid spray (aerosol) or as a gas.It also has a bitter burning taste and is often used as a solution in water. Hydrogen cyanide (AC) gas has a distinctive bitter almond odor (others describe a musty “old sneakers smell”), but a large proportion of people cannot detect it the odor does not provide adequate warning of hazardous concentrations. It is used commercially for fumigation, electroplating, mining, chemical synthesis, and the production of synthetic fibers, plastics, dyes, and pesticides. Hydrogen cyanide (AC) is a chemical warfare agent (military designation, AC). It has whole-body (systemic) effects, particularly affecting those organ systems most sensitive to low oxygen levels: the central nervous system (brain), the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels), and the pulmonary system (lungs). Exposure to hydrogen cyanide (AC) can be rapidly fatal. It interferes with the normal use of oxygen by nearly every organ of the body. DESCRIPTION: Hydrogen cyanide (AC) is a systemic chemical asphyxiant.APPEARANCE: Colorless or pale blue liquid below 78☏ (25.6☌), colorless gas above 78☏ (25.6☌).
