Tips: What makes hydrogen cyanide (HCN) gas dangerous?
Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is an extremely toxic and flammable gas that interferes with the body's ability to use oxygen, leading to respiratory failure, dizziness, unconsciousness, and even death at high concentrations. It is widely used in chemical manufacturing, mining, and fumigation processes, making real-time monitoring essential for safety. Even low-level exposure can cause irritation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, which is why accurate and reliable HCN detection is critical in workplaces where cyanide compounds are handled.
