The parents of Zane Gbangbola, a seven year old boy whose death may have been caused
by hydrogen cyanide poisoning, were also refused legal aid for representation at the inquest into their son's death, as reported by the Guardian, the Daily Mail and others.

In 2015, chemists from Cambridge University, led
by John Sutherland, who is a co-author on the current study, discovered a way to synthesize the precursors to RNA using just
hydrogen cyanide,
hydrogen sulfide, and ultraviolet light — all ingredients that are thought to have been available on early Earth, before the appearance of the first life forms.
Meanwhile,
hydrogen sulfide, which would have been released in huge amounts
by volcanic eruptions, would have mostly stayed in the atmosphere, as the molecule is relatively insoluble in water, and therefore would not have had regular opportunities to interact with
hydrogen cyanide.
Last year, researchers found that in conditions mimicking those sparked
by a comet or meteorite impact, intense heat and pressure converted formamide (which forms when
hydrogen cyanide reacts with water) and other simple substances into the four information - bearing nucleobases in RNA, a likely genetic precursor to DNA.
* 3) For example, a research team led
by Takuma Izumi and Kotaro Kohno at the University of Tokyo, both of whom are engaged in this research, suggests that there is enhanced emission of
hydrogen cyanide (HCN) from the supermassive black hole in the barred spiral galaxy NGC1097
by past ALMA observations.
Looking through the data collected
by the telescope, astronomers were able to detect a pattern of spikes for various life - supporting molecules: water, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, methanol, dimethyl ether,
hydrogen cyanide, sulfur oxide and sulfur dioxide.
(b) Integral intensity map of the Galactic central region around Sgr A * (shown
by a white star) in the
hydrogen cyanide (HCN) 354.6 GHz spectral line.
Characterization of the hcnABC gene cluster encoding
hydrogen cyanide synthase and anaerobic regulation
by ANR in the strictly aerobic biocontrol agent Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0.
The
cyanide used
by Socrates» murderer, the poison favored
by German Nazis, is a synthetic chemical combined with another element —
hydrogen cyanide or sodium
cyanide or potassium
cyanide.
From all of these studies, our overall conclusion is as follows: you may well benefit from the cooking of flaxseeds as a way of decreasing your
cyanide - related risks, but you also may have no compelling reason to do so, since (1) the amount of CGs contained in 1 - 2 tablespoons is relatively small; (2) not all CGs will get broken down
by enzymes and converted into
hydrogen cyanide; and (3) if
hydrogen cyanide does get created, most healthy persons will be able to detoxify it when it is present in such relatively small amounts.
