Seek immediate medical assistance Flash point : -150c Auto ignition temperature : 2500c Flammable limit in air : lower: 2%, upper :95% by volume Extinguishing media : water (spray or fog), alcohol foam, CO2. Water is preferred Extinguishing media, as it will dilute the material resulting in a non – flammable mixture. Special firefighting procedures: as in any fire, wear a self – contained breathing apparatus in pressure – demand, and full protective gear. Approach fire from upwind position Remove containers from fire it if can be done without risk. Use water spray to cool fire – exposed containers. do not use straight streams of water. Unusual fire and explosion hazards: vapors may from an explosive mixture with air vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. During a fire irritating and highly toxic Gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire – exposed containers cool. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire, flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can be spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flame. Empty Container may still contain residual material that can ignite and/or result in explosion Personnel involved in the cleanup operations should wear full protective clothing. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool. Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Approach from upwind position. Do not allow product to reach drains, sewers, or waterways. Stop the source of the spill if possible without risk. Contain all liquid for treatment and disposal as a potential hazardous waste. Vapor may be suppressed by the use of water fog or vapor suppressing foam. In case of minor spill, absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. In case of major spill, dike spills area as soon as possible. Dilute the spill to 10% with water. Neutralize the dilute material with 30% acetic acid solution slowly. Handling: Use only in a well-ventilated area. Ground and bond containers when transferring material. Empty containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be dangerous. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame.

skin.

LONG TERM TOXICITY

Prolonged or repeated exposure to hydrazine monohydrate or its vapor may

cause dermatitis by skin contact and bronchitis by inhalation

SPECIFIC EFFECTS:

Experimental reproductive effects have been reported

Hydrazine is mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium, induced DNA strand breaks

in rat hepatocytes treated in vitro, chromosome aberrations in rat bone marrow

cells in vivo, and induced sister chromatid exchange by un vitro, treatment in

Chinese hamster ovary cells human liver cells and induced transformation of

human fibroblasts, Hydrazine did not induce dominant lethal mutation in mice.

On the basis of the carcinogenicity studies on experimental animals, there is

evidence that hydrazine is an animal carcinogen. Human data are inadequate to

assess its carcinogenicity in man.

international bodies are follows;

IARC Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans: inadequate

evidence in humans, sufficient evidence in experimental

animals)

NTP(USA) 2B (reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen, sufficient

evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental

animals)

ACGIH(USA) A3 (animal carcinogen)

EPA(USA) B2 (probable human carcinogen: Sufficient evidence from

animal studies, inadequate evidence or no data from

epidemiologic studies)

DFG(GERMANY) A2 (Unmistakable carcinogenic in animal experimentation

only)

EU Category 2 (Substances which should be regarded as if they

are carcinogenic to man )

Criteria 68 Hydrazine, WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION GENEVA 1987”.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

DEGRADABILITY:

According to IPCS, hydrazine is degraded rapidly in air through reactions with

ozone, hydroxyl radicals, and nitrogen dioxide. In water, it is degraded rapidly,

especially under aerobic conditions, and in the presence of organic material

and/or in alkaline or hard water. It is more persistent in soft, metal-free water. In

soil, it is absorbed and decomposed on clay surfaces, under aerobic conditions.

Hydrazine monohydrate may have similar degradability in the environment.

ECOTOXICOSITY:

According to IPCS, hydrazine can be toxic for aquatic life, even at very low

concentrations. Fish species showed LC50 values of between 0.54 mg/liter

(roach) and 5.98 mg/ liter (fathead minnow). Nitrifying bacteria in activated

sludge are inhibited by hydrazine levels higher that 1 mg/liter. Some other

microorganisms are more sensitive and show toxicity thresholds at levels

reported to be as low as 0.00008 mg/liter. Hydrazine in both air and water is

toxic for plants; in water, it can inhabit plant germination

Hydrazine monohydrate may have similar toxicity.
