Cyanides are a group of organic and inorganic compounds that contain the cyano (CN) group. Free cyanide is defined as the sum of cyanide present as hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and as CN-. The organic cyanides are called nitriles; a few of them dissociate to yield CN- or HCN. In this Health Advisory, only a few widely used industrial inorganic cyanides—hydrogen cyanide (HCN, or prussic acid), sodium cyanide (NaCN), and potassium cyanide (KCN)—are discussed.
