Cyanide Analysis

Cyanide Analysis

There are many forms of cyanide, some of which are highly poisonous chemicals, but others are not – some forms of cyanide are used in medicines. Cyanide is also a naturally occurring chemical found in edible plants and seeds, for example almonds, soy beans and spinach.

In industry, cyanide is used in the production of a range of products, including acrylics, rubber, plastics, dyes, printing and the extraction of metals such as gold and silver. It is therefore important for manufacturers to treat their trade effluent before it enters the wastewater system.

Cyanide can accidentally enter the environment through industrial discharge and accidental spillages. Even small levels of cyanide in the water can have harmful effects on the environment where it can enter the food chain and also our drinking water. This is why it is important to regularly test the water for signs of cyanide toxicity.
