SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include irritation. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It may cause irritation. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. (NTP, 1992)
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
Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used. (NTP, 1992)
Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)
Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": A high efficiency particulate arrestor (HEPA) or charcoal filters can be used to minimize amt of carcinogen in exhausted air ventilated safety cabinets, lab hoods, glove boxes, or animal rooms ... Filter housing that is designed so that used filters can be transferred into plastic bag without contaminating maintenance staff is avail commercially. Filters should be placed in plastic bags immediately after removal ... The plastic bag should be sealed immediately ... The sealed bag should be labelled properly ... Waste liquids ... should be placed or collected in proper containers for disposal. The lid should be secured & the bottles properly labelled. Once filled, bottles should be placed in plastic bag, so that outer surface ... is not contaminated ... The plastic bag should also be sealed & labelled. ... Broken glassware ... should be decontaminated by solvent extraction, by chemical destruction, or in specially designed incinerators. Chemical Carcinogens
NO open flames. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Separated from food and feedstuffs. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.PRECAUTIONS FOR "CARCINOGENS": Storage site should be as close as practicable to lab in which carcinogens are to be used, so that only small quantities required for ... expt need to be carried. Carcinogens should be kept in only one section of cupboard, an explosion proof refrigerator or freezer (depending on chemicophysical properties ...) that bears appropriate label. An inventory ... should be kept, showing quantity of carcinogen & date it was acquired ... Facilities for dispensing ... should be contiguous to storage area. Chemical Carcinogens

Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides. Reacts with mineral acids. This produces benzidine (see ICSC 0224).
Hydrazobenzene (10 ug/L) in dilute aqueous solution was found to be unstable with less than 10% remaining for longer than one day of preservation (in the dark) under any of the conditions tested (ie, room temperature or 4 deg C at pH 2,7, or 10 and with or without chlorine).
1,2-DIPHENYLHYDRAZINE is a mild reducing agent. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, acid chlorides and acid anhydrides. Interaction with perchloryl fluoride in the presence of a dilutent below 32°F has caused separation of explosive solids. Is readily oxidized by nitric acid, silver nitrate or permanganate. Is reduced under alkaline conditions (NTP, 1992).

CLASSIFICATION: B2; probable human carcinogen. BASIS FOR CLASSIFICATION: Positive results of studies in both rats and mice form the basis for this classification. Two apparently negative studies lack information on compound purity, experimental design, and statistical treatment. HUMAN CARCINOGENICITY DATA: None.
No information is available on the reproductive or developmental effects of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine in humans. In one study, no effects on reproductive organs were found in rats and mice exposed via ingestion.
May cause mechanical irritation.
This substance is probably carcinogenic to humans.
A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.
1,2-Diphenylhydrazine is degraded by sludge microorganisms(1). Using a static screening test, 1,2-diphenylhydrazine was inoculated with domestic wastewater and incubated for 7 days followed by 3 weekly subcultures (totaling 28 days of incubation); degradation of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine at 5 mg/l was reported as 80, 73, 66, and 77% for the original, first, second, and third subculture. Degradation of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine at 10 mg/l was reported as 72, 55, 40, and 40% for the original, first, second, and third subculture(2). This pattern was believed to indicate a process of initially significant degradation with gradual adaptation followed by a deadaptive process(2).
The weighted average bioconcentration factor for 1,2-diphenylhydrazine was reported to be 29 for the edible portions of fish and shellfish consumed by Americans(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC)
The Koc of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine is estimated as approximately 950(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 2.94(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1,2-diphenylhydrazine has low mobility in soil(SRC).

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.
