Agreed. My first job out of college was as a chemist/chemical engineer in a plating facility. I did all the chemical ordering and we easily went through 2000 pounds of cyanide every month. Foundries that do heat treating have vats with literally tons of cyanide in each one.

That's not to say that 7 pounds wouldn't be a danger in a local water supply though -- but Iraq is a LONG way from here.

It is where it was found that is significant.
