Zimbabwe: Use of cyanide in mining activities

Cyanide is highly toxic compound which can be lethal if ingested or inhaled by any living organism. 
Most risks associated with cyanide use are related to discharges, spillages and transportation. In recent years, a string of cyanide related mining accidents has added to the environmental and community concerns. 
As a result more questions have been raised about current operating and monitoring strategies being used in the country.
