Mitochondria
chlorine not the answer
hydrogen cyanide
Cyanide acts at the level of the cell mitochondria (the cell's energy factory) to stop the utilization of oxygen in the formation of energy (adenotriphosphates - ATP). Without this energy (ATP), cells cannot function and ultimately die. Cyanide has the same effect in humans... you can die of cyanide poisoning.
Ammonium cyanide is NH4CN
Cyanides are fast-acting and can be lethal. Upon exposure, cyanide quickly enters the bloodstream. In small doses, cyanide in the body can be changed into thiocyanate, which is less harmful and is excreted in urine. In the body, cyanide in small amounts can also combine with another chemical to form vitamin B12, which helps maintain healthy nerve and red blood cells. However, in large doses, the body cannot convert cyanide into thiocyanate. Large doses of cyanide prevent cells from using oxygen, which causes cell death. The heart, respiratory system and central nervous system are most susceptible to cyanide poisoning.

chlorine not the answer
Yes, it is. It takes time for it to kill.
mitochondria. Cyanide binds to cytochrome c oxidase, a key enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain involved in producing ATP. Therefore, most of the cyanide would be found within the mitochondria of the cell.
Sodium thiosulfate will elevate blood pressure dramatically
No. Cyanide can refer to number of compounds that contain the cyanide ion, (containing carbon and nitrogen). In most forms it is combined with sodium, potassium, or hydrogen.
If a cell is exposed to cyanide, most of the cyanide will be found within the mitochondria. Cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase, a key enzyme in the electron transport chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, disrupting cellular respiration and leading to cell death.
If you took cyanide, then you would most likely die within minutes.

Cyanides are dangerous pollutants destroying the life in waters.
