EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: colorless liquid. Flash Point: 38 deg C.
Danger! Strong reducing agent. Fire and explosion
risk in contact with oxidizing agents. May be fatal if absorbed
through the skin. Causes eye and skin burns. Causes digestive and
respiratory tract burns. Flammable liquid and
vapor. Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. May cause
allergic skin reaction. Cancer suspect agent. May cause blood
abnormalities. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause irreversible eye injury. Exposure to the vapors or
liquid may cause temporary blindness. Causes severe eye irritation
and burns.
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.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
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.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
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.
Flash Point: 38 deg C ( 100.40 deg F)
Autoignition Temperature: 270 deg C ( 518.00 deg F)
Explosion Limits, Lower:2.9%
Upper: 98%
NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 3; Flammability: 3; Instability: 3
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
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.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
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.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
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.

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.
Physical:
No information available.
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 f
