The Effects of Selected Hydrazines Upon Fish and Invertebrates

Abstract

The toxicity of hydrazine, monomethylhydrazine, and 1-1, dimethylhydrazine was ascertained from static LC50 estimations using two freshwater fish, golden shiners and channel catfish, and two invertebrates, amphipods and isopods. The data did not clearly indicate that the invertebrates were more sensitive than the fish to the chemicals and that the relative toxicities of the hydrazines were different. However, 1-1, dimethylhydrazine was generally the least toxic to both the invertebrates and fish.
