Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:IN MOST CASES, CYANIDE POIS CAUSES
    DECEPTIVELY HEALTHY PINK TO RED SKIN COLOR. HOWEVER, IF PHYSICAL
    INJURY/LACK OF OXYGEN IS INVOLVED, SKIN COLOR MAY BE BLUISH.
    REDDENING OF EYES & PUPIL DILATION ARE  SYMPS OF CYANIDE POIS.

    CYANIDE POIS. (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT.
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: ACUTE: INHAL: EFTS OF OVEREXP ARE
    OFTEN DELAYED, POSS DUE TO SLOW FORM OF CYANIDE ANIONS IN BODY.
    THESE CYANIDE ANIONS PVNT BODY FROM USING OXYGEN & CAN LEAD TO

Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:WORKERS USING CYANIDE SHOULD HAVE
    PREPLACEMENT & PERIODIC MED EXAMS. THOSE W/HISTORY OF CNS,
    HEART/LUNG DISEASE/LIVER, KIDNEY/THYROID PROBLEMS MAY BE MORE
    SUSCEPTIBLE TO EFTS OF THIS SUBSTANCE.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:IN CASE OF CYANIDE POIS, START FIRST AID TREATMENT IMMED,
    THEN GET MED ATTN. CYANIDE ANTIDOTE KIT (AMYL NITRITE, SODIUM
    NITRITE & SODIUM THIOSULFATE) SHOULD BE AVAIL IN ANY CYANIDE WORK
    AREA. ACTIONS  TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF CYANIDE POIS SHOULD BE
    PLANNED & PRACTICED BEFORE BEGINNING WORK W/CYANIDES. OXYGEN & AMYL
    NITRITE CAN BE GIVEN BY FIRST RESPONDER BEFORE MED HELP ARRIVES.
