Streszczenie
A procedure for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of cyanide (HCN) in biological material using gas chromatography with thermoionic detection (NPD) and the headspace technique was proposed. The distribution of cyanides in individual organs was established in a group of experimental animals (Wistar strain rats, sacrificed due to termination of reproduction). The suitability of the technique was tested in conditions of routine toxicological work on autopsy material from animals (Alsatian dogs killed by criminals).
