“…They speculated on the possible involvement of microorganisms, which may invade the vascular system after death from the autopsy environment or from endogenous sources . Therefore, other researchers proposed sodium fluoride to be added to the blood samples in order to minimize the increase in cyanide concentration . On the basis of these views, we applied this preservative to our experiments.…”

“…19 Therefore, other researchers proposed sodium fluoride to be added to the blood samples in order to minimize the increase in cyanide concentration. 21 On the basis of these views, we applied this preservative to our experiments. Considering everything, even short-time storage of specimens containing cyanide resulted in substantial loss of the analyte.…”

“…During recent years, great attention had been focused on cyanide toxicity because of its widespread use in the industries and considered to be a ubiquitous pollutant in the environment. Human exposure to this substance may occur through mining, industrial usage, smoke from fire, propulsion motors and tobacco [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] . Exposure to other chemicals like organonitriles, cyanogens and cyanide containing pesticides would also result in cyanide toxicity [5] , [6] , [7] .…”
