Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering measure(s):

Exposure limit values

- Exposure limit(s):

1, 1-DIMETHYLHYDRAZINE:VME ppm = 0,5 - VME mg = 1,2

1.1-DIMETHYLHYDRAZINE : VLE = N.A TLV = 1.2 mg/m3 VME = 0.2 mg/m3 MAK N.A. Suspicious to be carcinogenic for man. Risk of skin allergy. RisK of sensibilization.
