EVALUATION OF THE POTENTIAL CARCINOGENICITY OF 1,1-DIMETHYL-HYDRAZINE. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/8-91/120 (NTIS PB93185379), 1988.
Description:
1,1-Dimethylhydrazine is a probable human carcinogen, classified as weight-of-evidence Group B2 under the EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1986a). vidence on potential carcinogenicity from animal studies is sufficient,n and the evidence from human studies is "No Data." he patency factor (F) for 1,1-dimethylhydrazine is estimated to be 82.5 (mg/kg/day)-1, placing R in potency group 2 according to the CAG's methodology for evaluating potential carcinogens (U.S. EPA, 1986b). ombining the weight-of-evidence group and the potency group, 1,1-dimethyl-hydrazine is assigned a "MEDIUM" hazard ranking for the purposes of RQ adjustment.
