What precaution effect should you be aware of when administering cyanide antidotes?
Sodium thiosulfate will elevate blood pressure dramatically

What are the mechanisms of the body for getting rid of cyanide?
Natural mechanism for getting rid of cyanide involves rhodanase, which is an enzyme occurring naturally in mammals. It combines cyanide with thiosulfate, producing comparatively harmless thiocyanate. Other antidotes include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite which release the cyanide from the cytochrome system.
What agents are slow effect agents?
Cyanide
What agents are considered slow effect agents?
Cyanide
What agents is considered to be fast effect agent?
chlorine not the answer
Is cyanide agents considered to be a fast effect agent?
YES
Is cyanide a slow effect agent?
Yes, it is. It takes time for it to kill.
What effect did the cyanide have on the rivers of Europe?
Cyanides are dangerous pollutants destroying the life in waters.
What effect did cyanide have on rivers of Europe?
The river held some of europes rarest fishes
How does Danube Cyanide Spill poison animals?
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.
What organ does cyanide effect the most?
Cyanide primarily affects the heart and brain. It interferes with the body's ability to use oxygen by disrupting cellular respiration, leading to tissue damage and potentially fatal outcomes.
What agents is considered to be a fast effect agent A cyanide B sulphur C mustard D chlorine E phosgene?

Is there cyanide in seeds of plants?
Many plants contain cyanic glucoside (cyanide sugars) in their leaves and other structures to discourage herbivores and insects from eating them. In digestion, the compound is converted to cyanide gas, can lead to swift asphyxiation by disrupting the conversion of oxygen to energy within cells. A well-nourished person can detoxify small amounts of cyanide during digestion. Some common foods contain cyanic glucosides, including garden beans and peas; tapioca (cassava); and members of the rose family, especially bitter almond, peach and apricot, along with cherry, loquat, and apple. The flesh of these fruits (the part we eat) does not contain the cyanide, though the seeds do; this is why we are warned against eating apple seeds, for instance. In general one would need to chew and eat an unusual quantity of the seeds to produce a toxic effect. If they were not chewed, the seeds would likely pass through the digestive tract without harm. Cassava root must be specially processed (by drying and washing) to remove the cyanide prior to consumption. Contact with water removes the cyanide from the food and releases it into the air.
