Summary

This bulletin provides information on hydrogen cyanide and cyanides regarding the following topics: physicochemical characteristics; analytical methods for its detection in air, water, and biological samples (e.g., blood); sources of human and environmental exposure; environmental levels (i.e., air, water, soil, and food) and human exposure (i.e., general population and occupational exposure); absorption, distribution, metabolism/excretion, and monitoring in laboratory animals and humans; toxic effects on laboratory animals and in vitro test systems; toxic effects on humans; and evaluation of health effects.--Publisher's description.
