Then they pick an insulation that is made from hydrocarbons, it uses hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) as a blowing agent, has trischloropropylphosphate (TCPP), a possible bioaccumulative toxin, as a flame retardant, and if it does catch on fire, «will produce dense, black, toxic smoke releasing carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and possible traces

The spacecraft's sensitive spectrometer was able to register the chemical signatures not only of water vapor but also
of hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide — all precursors of the more complex molecules that scientists think eventually gave rise to life on Earth.
Meteors, comets or primordial ponds
of hydrogen cyanide would still need to provide those molecules.
At the recommend daily intake of about 1 to 2 tablespoons, approximately 5 — 10 mg
of hydrogen cyanide is released from flaxseed, which is well below the estimated acute toxic dose for an adult of 50 to 60 mg inorganic cyanide and below the 30 to 100 mg / d humans can routinely detoxify (Roseling 1994) Eating excessive amounts of flax seeds too quickly can cause mild digestive problems in some people.

hydrogen cyanide that can be converted into thiocyanate) are well - researched examples
of chemical toxins that are considered goitrogenic because they can interfere with thyroid function.
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.
And even when beta - glucosidase does break apart the CGs, there's an enzyme in our body called rhodanase that can convert
