Potential Health Effects

Skin : May be fatal if absorbed through the skin. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause irritation and/or dermatitis. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material. Contact with liquid is corrosive and causes severe burns and ulceration. Contact with the skin may dissolve hair.

Ingestion : Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause liver and kidney damage. Causes digestive tract burns with immediate pain, swelling of the throat, convulsions, and possible coma. Exposure may cause anemia and other blood abnormalities.

Inhalation : Harmful if inhaled. Irritation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary edema. May cause liver and kidney damage. Causes severe irritation of upper respiratory tract with coughing, burns, breathing difficulty, and possible coma. Vapors may cause dizziness, nausea, itching, burning, and swelling of the eyes.

Chronic : Repeated inhalation may cause chronic bronchitis. May cause cancer according to animal studies. Repeated exposure may cause sensitization dermatitis. May cause reproductive and fetal effects.

Eyes : Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme diately. Do not allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.

Skin : Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits further exposure.

Ingestion : Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.

Inhalation : Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask.

Notes to Physician : Treat symptomatically and supportively.

General Information : As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable liquid and vapor. Autoignition temperature varies based upon contact surface. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. May be ignited by heat, sparks, and flame. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Containers may explode when heated.

Extinguishing Media : For large fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant foam. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Do not get water inside containers. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or water spray. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.

Spills/Leaks : Remove all sources of ignition. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Do not use combustible materials such as sawdust. Do not get water inside containers. Approach spill from upwind. Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors, protect personnel, and dilute spills to form nonflammable mixtures. Control runoff and isolate discharged material for proper disposal.

Handling : Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Use only with adequate ventilation or respiratory protection.

Storage : Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Flammables-area. Storage under a nitrogen blanket has been recommended. Isolate from oxidizing materials and acids.

Engineering Controls : Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to acceptable levels.

Exposure Limits

Personal Protective Equipment

Respirators : Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.

        Gloves                       Suit                          

Incompatibilities with Other Materials : Substance is highly reactive reducing agent. Incompatible with oxidizing agents (including air), acids, and some metal oxides and metals. Substance may spontaneously ignite in air when in contact with porous materials. Ignites on contact with dinitrogen oxide and tetroxide, hydrogen peroxide, tetryl, and nitric acid. Explodes on contact with dicyanofurazan, n-halomides, potassium, silver compounds, sodium hydroxide, titanium compounds, and trioxygen difluoride. Explosive compounds may result from contact with air, chloromethylnitrobenzene, lithium perchlorate, metal salts, methanol + nitromethane, sodium , and sodium perchlorate. Also incompatible with barium oxide or calcium oxide, benzeneseleninic acid or anhydride, calcium, carbon dioxide + stainless steel, 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, cotton waste + heavy metals, (difluoroamino)difluoroacetonitrile, iodine pentoxide, rust, ruthenium(III) oxide, thiocarbonyl azide thiocyanate,

Epidemiology : This substance has shown a high tumor-generating potential in multiple studies. Hydrazine has been classified as carcinogenic in many rodent studies following long-term administration. The major target tissues include: liver, lungs, and respiratory tract. Please refer to Patty's Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology for specific information. Substance is listed by CA Proposition 65. IARC has determined that there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity to animals and inadequate evidence for humans.

Other Studies:

Ecotoxicity : No data available. Rainbow trout (fresh water) 146ppm/0.5H (Lethal) Guppy (hard water): LC50 = 3.85mg/L/96H Guppy (soft water): LC50 = 0.61mg/L/96HBluegill sunfish: LC50 = 1.08mg/L/96H

Environmental : Biodegradation is not expected to be significant when large amounts of hydrazine are released due to the high microbial toxicity of hydrazine; at lower concentrations, however, hydrazine biodegradation could be important. Volatilization of hydrazine should not be important from moist soil surfaces given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.1X10-7 atm-cu m/mole, calculated from experimental values for vapor pressure and water solubility.

Other : Bioconcentration in guppies was studied using a hydrazine concentration in water of 0.5 ug/g. After 96 hours, the concentration of hydrazine in guppies was about 144 ug/g. These values give a bioconcentration factor of 316. An estimated BCF value of 0.01 was calculated for hydrazine, using a measured log Kow of -2.07(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation. According to a classification scheme, these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms may be high, as for guppies; however, based on this compound's values for log Kow and water solubility, the potential
