Based on Purser (2002), p. 2-109, and Iqbal and Salley (2004), pp. B-68 and F-54.<br /> <br /> Original vector illustration for [[Hydrogen cyanide]], level 2 Intermediate.<br /> <br /> * Source basis: Purser (2002), p. 2-100 (CO forms carboxyhaemoglobin), p. 2-104 (HCN carried rapidly to the brain), p. 2-109 (CO reduces carriage, HCN reduces use; additive assumption), p. 2-110 (directly additive in the model); Iqbal and Salley (2004), p. B-68 (cyanide ion in body fluids) and p. F-54 (enzymes of cellular oxidation).<br /> * Alt text: Schematic of oxygen path from lungs through blood to cells: carbon monoxide blocks transport in the blood, hydrogen cyanide blocks use in the cells.<br /> <br /> == Licensing ==<br /> New drawing by Fire Safety Academy. © Fire Safety Academy.</div>
