On account of endogenous hydrogen cyanide (HCN) production in the deceased, it is not easy to assess exposure to HCN in people who died in fire involving closed rooms (flats, garages, cellars, etc). In the paper, the authors present the results of blood determinations of hydrogen cyanide in fatalities of explosions and fires occurring in coal-mines, as well as fires in closed rooms. It has been demonstrated that the time of exposure to a high temperature and the temperature itself hamper autolysis processes that lead to production of endogenous HCN in fire fatalities.
由于死者体内会产生内源性氰化氢（HCN），因此评估在涉及封闭空间（公寓、车库、地窖等）的火灾中死亡人员的HCN暴露情况并非易事。在本文中，作者展示了煤矿爆炸和火灾以及封闭空间火灾中遇难者血液中氰化氢的测定结果。结果表明，暴露于高温的时间以及温度本身会阻碍自溶过程，而自溶过程会导致火灾遇难者体内产生内源性HCN。
