Methyl hydrazine - IDLH | NIOSH

May 1994 Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (IDLH)

CAS number: 60–34–4

NIOSH REL: 0.04 ppm (0.08 mg/m3) 2-hour CEILING; NIOSH considers methyl hydrazine to be a potential occupational carcinogen as defined by the OSHA carcinogen policy [29 CFR 1990].

Current OSHA PEL: 0.2 ppm (0.35 mg/m3) CEILING [skin]

1989 OSHA PEL: Same as current PEL

1993-1994 ACGIH TLV: 0.2 ppm (0.38 mg/m3) CEILING [skin], A2

Description of substance: Fuming, colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor.

LEL: . . . 2.5% (10% LEL, 2,500 ppm)

Original (SCP) IDLH: 50 ppm

Basis for original (SCP) IDLH: The chosen IDLH is based on the report by Jacobson et al. [1955] of a mouse LC50 of 56 ppm.

Short-term exposure guidelines: National Research Council [NRC 1985] Short-term Public Emergency Guidance Levels (SPEGLs):

1-hour SPEGL: 0.24 ppm

2-hour SPEGL: 0.12 ppm

4-hour SPEGL: 0.06 ppm

8-hour SPEGL: 0.03 ppm

16-hour SPEGL: 0.015 ppm

24-hour SPEGL: 0.01 ppm

Human data: None relevant for use in determining the revised IDLH.

Revised IDLH: 20 ppmBasis for revised IDLH: The revised IDLH for methyl hydrazine is 20 ppm based on acute inhalation toxicity data in animals [Haun et al. 1969, 1970]. [Note: NIOSH recommends as part of its carcinogen policy that the “most protective” respirators be worn for methyl hydrazine at concentrations above 0.04 ppm.]
