Zinc is naturally present in water. The average zinc concentration in seawater is 0.6-5 ppb. Rivers generally contain between 5 and 10 ppb zinc. Algae contain 20-700 ppm, sea fish and shells contain 3-25 ppm, oysters contain 100-900 ppm and lobsters contain 7-50 ppm.
Cyanides (more exactly as cyanogenic glycozides) exist in cassavaroots, and fruit seeds as apricots, prunes, peaches, almonds etc. Cyanide is historically found in the seeds â¦of some fruits. Applesseeds contain cyanide, but a person would have to eat a lot ofapple seeds for the cyanide to have any negative effects. Cyanide is natural found in certain foods. This includes cassava,almonds, pits of some types of fruit, and Lima beans.
Cyanide is also used in jewelry-making and certain kinds of photography such as sepia toning. Cyanides are used as insecticides for fumigating ships. Cyanide salts are used for killing ants, and have in some places been used as rat poison (the less toxic poison arsenic is more common).ost cyanides are highly toxic. Organic cyanides are usually called nitriles; in these, the CN group is linked by a covalent bond to a carbon-containing group, such as methyl (CH 3) in methyl cyanide (acetonitrile).
