What's the deal with Zyklon B

Hey Guys, I know that Zyklon B Was used in the gas chambers in Auschwitz During the Holocaust But the thing i dont get is, I've Read from some people online saying that Zyklon B isnt Dangerous at all and wouldnt kill you, I know you shouldnt always trust what people say but, Since i've heard it from quite a few it made me think. I know it should be obvious that it is dangerous because of how many people died from it. But at the same time, How come so many people are questioning it? Could someone please get this straight for me.

Thanks

 

I don't know anything about it, however it may be the case that in a liquid state it is safe, but once in gaseous form it is dangerous? (or vice versa?)

Have a few elements and gasses etc thatare safe in certain states but dangerous in others, Asbestos is a good example.

 

Zyklon B (German pronunciation: [tsykloːn ˈbeː]; also spelled Cyclon B or Cyclone B) was the trade name of a cyanide-based pesticide invented in the early 1920s and infamous for its later use by Nazi Germany to kill human beings in gas chambers of extermination camps during the Holocaust. Zyklon B consisted of hydrogen cyanide (prussic acid), a stabilizer, a warning odorant (ethyl bromoacetate)[Note 1], and one of several adsorbents.

wiki dude, its fucking cyanide . Anyone saying it isnt harmful to humans is probably one of those "the holocaust didnt happen" right wing conspiracists. It was made to kill bugs and shit on crops and to be sprayed from crop dusters and the nazis used it on humans in concentrated doses. Anyone who thinks cyanide or its derivatives isnt harmful to humans is deluded.

No one debates cyanides lethality, people saying its not lethal are probably referring to the originally made pesticide containing smaller amounts of cyanide than the nazi made batches. Even then it was used in open fields, ofcourse it wasnt going to kill people or animals then it had the whole atmosphere to dissipate in.. if you lock people up in small rooms and fill the room with highly concentrated pesticides of just about any kind they will die. Chemicals arent meant to be inhaled in lieu of air... especially poisonous ones

Nope, cyanide is just as lethal liquid or gas. Probably more so liquid due to its high concentration

 

Thanks.
