Cyanide is lethal because it contains an ion that binds to enzymes and decrease their activity. It causes the entire cell to stop producing ATP (energy) through an ETC (electron transport chain). This effects some important tissues, like the heart and central nervous system, that process respiration. There are some compounds like hydrogen cyanide and sodium cyanide that are very dangerous and hazardous to the human body. An example of cyanide poisoning can be related to some mass extermination camps during the time of the Holocaust.
