Extremely toxic, colorless gas/vapor with a bitter almond-like odor (not always perceptible); inhibits cell respiration.
✓ measurable with the air-Q Science on request.
In chemistry/metallurgy, in nitriding processes, from cyanide salts under the influence of acids, in fires of nitrogen-containing plastics.
Very low workplace and short-term limit values (often in the low ppm range).
Rapid onset-head dizziness, convulsions, respiratory arrest; fatal in a short time with high exposure.
Specific antidotes (e.g. hydroxocobalamin) in an emergency; gas warning technology and training mandatory.
