This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. An extensive data base on the toxicology of the hydrazine type missile propellants has been generated for use in establishing human exposure limits, designing occupational medicine programs, and developing pollution control strategies. This data base was the result of exhaustive animal studies on the three hydrazine fuels: hydrazine, monomethylhydrazine, and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine. These fuels are used in AF and NASA missiles, the Space Shuttle, the F-16 fighter, and as an oxygen scavenger in large boilers on Navy ships. These data were critical in setting standards for human exposures to the hydrazine compounds. The data are applicable for many civilian situations that involve the use of hydrazine compounds. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Lt. Col. Michael G.
