Inorganic cyanides may liberate toxic HCN gas upon exposure to water under acidic conditions, such as water with CO2 dissolved in it (carbonic acid) (Gail, E. et al. 2004. Cyano Compounds, Inorganic. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA (Online); Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 974).
