AB  - Cyanide  is  a  highly  toxic  chemical  used  widely  in  research  and  commercial  laboratories  and  many  industries.  Its  gaseous  form,  hydrogen  cyanide,  is  an  important  component  of  smoke  in  fires.  Cyanide-generating  glycosides  are  also  found  in  the  pits  of  apricots  and  other  related  plants.  Cyanide  is  generated  by  the  breakdown  of  nitroprusside,  and  poisoning  can  result  from  rapid  high-dose  infusions.  Cyanide  is  also  formed  by  metabolism  of  acetonitrile,  a  solvent  found  in  some  over-the-counter  fingernail  glue  removers.  Cyanide  is  rapidly  absorbed  by  inhalation,  skin  absorption,  or  ingestion.  It  disrupts  cellular  function  by  inhibiting  cytochrome  oxidase  and  preventing  cellular  oxygen  utilization.
