This compound exhibits high acute toxicity as a result of exposure by all routes. Death or permanent injury may result after very short exposure to small quantities. Chronic exposure may cause pneumonia, liver damage, and kidney damage. (EPA, 1998)
Specific treatment for exposure consists of thorough washing of all exposed skin areas with soap and water, copious irrigation of the eyes, and prompt removal of the patient from the source of exposure. Hydrazines
If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped or safely confined. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Vapor may explode if ignited in an enclosed area. Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flashback. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. When it decomposes, 1,1-dimethylhydrazine gives off toxic nitrogen compound fumes. Dissolves, swells, and disintegrates many plastics. Dangerous when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Hazardous polymerization may not occur. (EPA, 1998)
Use powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water in large amounts, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

1,1-dimethylhydrazine is a clear colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor. Flash point 0°F. Corrosive to the skin. Less dense than water and soluble in water. Vapors are heavier than air and very toxic by inhalation, attacking the eyes and respiratory system. Prolonged exposure of containers to heat may result in their violent rupturing and rocketing due to decomposition. Generates toxic oxides of nitrogen when burned. Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and a flame can flashback to the source of vapors. Used as a rocket propellant and to make other chemicals.

15 ppm; NIOSH considers 1,1-dimethylhydrazine to be a potential occupational carcinogen.
On combustion, forms toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. The substance is a strong reducing agent. It reacts violently with oxidants. The substance is a strong base. It reacts violently with acid and is corrosive. Reacts with oxygen. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Attacks plastics.
Solution stored in dark and cold are relatively stable in absence of oxidants
It is flammable over a wide range of vapor air concentrations.The vapour is heavier than air and may travel along the ground; distant ignition possible.1,1-DIMETHYLHYDRAZINE is a powerful reducing agent. Ignition can occur on contact with oxidizing agents such hydrogen peroxide and fuming nitric acid [Haz. Chem. Data(1966)]. Also reacts as a base to neutralize acids in exothermic reactions.

Cancer Classification: Group B2 Probable Human Carcinogen
No information is available on the reproductive or developmental effects of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine in humans. Sperm abnormalities and decreased sperm counts were observed in animals injected with 1,1-dimethylhydrazine. Birth defects were not observed in the offspring of animals exposed intraperitoneally to 1,1-dimethylhydrazine.
The substance is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Inhalation of the vapour may cause lung oedema. See Notes. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system and liver.
The substance may have effects on the blood. This may result in anaemia. This substance is possibly carcinogenic to humans.
A harmful contamination of the air can be reached very quickly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C.
Contaminated wastewater from the NASA Kennedy Space station was studied in batch cultures and trickle bed reactors to monitor the degradation rates of hydrazine containing rocket fuels(1,2). The half-life of structurally similar methylhydrazine in batch cultures (Rhodococcus B30 or Achromobacter sp.) and trickle bed reactors was about 2.5 and 12 days, respectively(1). Biodegradation may be a significant removal process at low concentrations in soils or ambient waters, but at higher concentrations hydrazines are toxic to microorganisms(2). Concentrations of hydrazine and 1,1-dimethylhydrazine that reduced bacterial metabolism by 50% ranged from 14.6 to 145 mg/L and from 19.2 to 9,060 mg/L, respectively(3).
An estimated BCF value of 3 was calculated for 1,1-dimethylhydrazine(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -1.19(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Of the initial amount of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine in cleaned sand (100% sand), Vandenburg Air Force Base (VAFB) soil (99.1% sand, 0.4% clay, pH 6.1), organic soil (96.1% sand, 1% clay, 1% carbon, pH 6.4), and clay (69.3% sand, 27.95% clay, pH 3.7), 5%, 20%, 15%, and 30% was adsorbed, respectively. Passage of 2 liters of distilled, deionized water at 5 ml/min through columns containing sand, VAFB soil, organic soil and clay (10% clay soil plus 90% pure sand) in equilibrium with 10 ml of a 0.1 v/v solution of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine resulted in 99.9%, 42.5%, 21.9%, and 7.2% recovery of this compound, respectively(1). As the hydrazines are all very basic chemicals, adsorption to acidic, clay soils is expected(1).

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.

Depending on the degree of exposure, periodic medical examination is suggested.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation are therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient.Do NOT take working clothes home.Rinse contaminated clothing with plenty of water because of fire hazard.
