The processes of extracting and separating gold in remote regions often result in environmental contamination with Cyanide (Option B).
<h3>What is cyanide?</h3>
Cyanide is a substance that contains a group formed by Carbon and Nitrogen forming a strong chemical bond (C≡N).
Cyanide can be very toxic when forms soluble salts (e.g., sodium and/or potassium cyanide).
Cyanide was used as a chemical compound during gold extraction, thereby generating environmental contamination.
