2. Method of using prussic acid
Zyklon is the absorption of a mixture of
prussic acid and an irritant by a carrier.
Wood fibre discs, a reddish brown granular
mass (Diagriess - Dia gravel) or small blue
cubes (Erco) are used as carriers.
Apart from serving its purpose as
indicator, this irritant also has the advantage
of stimulating the respiration of insects.
Prussic acid and the irritant are generated
through simple evaporation. Zyklon will
keep for three months. Use damaged cans
first. The contents of a can must all be used
up at once. Liquid prussic acid damages
polish, lacquer, paint, etc. Gaseous prussic
acid is harmless. The toxicity of the prussic
acid remains unchanged by the addition of
the irritant; the danger connected with it is
however considerably decreased.
Zyklon can be rendered inoffensive
combustion.
