MathGenius2110 https://padlet.com/MathGenius2110/thzzx1cglgxd/wish/292946960 The Romania government banned cyanide for a 10 year period during which cyanide-based technologies may not be used in mining because that how it started.

The citizens perspective are that this is because of the government because if they did not have cyanide legal, than a lot people will not be injured because a lot of adults and kids because the cyanide was in the water, which than the kids played in.]]> 2018-10-15 17:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/MathGenius2110/thzzx1cglgxd/wish/292946960 Damage it causes?

For instance, if you touch cyanide, it burns, irritates and it could spread toxic elements throughout your body. Cyanide can also affect sea animal species like fish which would mean there would be less business in the fishing industry.

Even if they choose to do use it, they should have use strict measures around it. Becuase the Romanian/Australian company hadn't been paying attention to the dam, it spread to major waterways in the country.

  • Cyanide is released from natural substances in some foods and in certain plants such as cassava, Lima beans and almonds. Pits and seeds of common fruits, such as apricots, apples, and peaches, may have substantial amounts of chemicals which are metabolized to cyanide. The edible parts of these plants contain much lower amounts of these chemicals.

  • A strong sodium or calcium hypochlorite solution will decontaminate polluted water with cyanide 
  • Cyanide can be broken down in the presence of Ultra Violet light which then stabalizes heavy metals like lead and mercury
