Cyanogen chloride is a highly toxic, colourless gas with a sharp, irritating odour. It is a chemical compound made up of carbon, nitrogen and chlorine, and it is classified as both a blood agent and a choking agent due to the way it affects the body.

Cyanogen chloride is not commonly encountered in everyday environments, but it may be present in certain industrial and chemical settings.

Exposure can lead to symptoms such as breathing difficulty, chest tightness, eye irritation and more severe systemic effects at higher concentrations.

Rockall Safety supplies the Dräger Detection Tubes (Cyanogen Chloride 0.25/A), which are designed to measure airborne concentrations of cyanogen chloride. When used with a compatible Dräger hand pump, these tubes draw a measured air sample and provide a clear colour change to indicate the level of gas present.
