Identification (Quantitative Determination and Detection) and Fate of Transformation Products of Rocket Fuel 1,1‐Dimethylhydrazine

2014

Data confidence 85 high

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Transformation products (TPs) of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (DMH), a highly toxic and reactive rocket fuel, are of huge fundamental and practical interest to scientists working in the field of chemical transformations in the environment. Due to the high reactivity of 1,1-DMH, its transformation occurs in a series of chemical reactions. This chapter describes experimental results on the identification and fate of TPs of 1,1-DMH in environmental objects (soil and water). It presents a review of the most recent data on the TPs of 1,1-DMH, including their identification, quantitative determination, distribution and fate in the environment. Analytical methods for determination of these compounds in the environmental samples are presented. The chapter also presents the results of identification of 1,1-DMH TPs obtained by analyses of soil samples from three fall sites.
