I am a marine science student, doing a study on the treatment of cyanide in the marine environment. Would like to know what a good treatment for a major spill would be, how long the area would remain toxic and if possible the effects of the treatment on life (if any left in the area). The type of spill I am researching is cyanide from mining practices. Any help on these question or any information regarding cyanide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the time.

I have found numerious account were sodium hypochloride, hydrogen peroxide and Hypoclorite have been used but am still unsure on there effect to biodiversity. have review many scientific journal and cannot come up with an environmentally conscious way to treat a spill pls help.
