1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This CICAD on phenylhydrazine was based on a review of human health concerns (primarily occupational) prepared by the United Kingdom’s Health and Safety Executive (Brooke et al., 1997) and a report prepared for the German Advisory Committee on Existing Chemicals of Environmental Relevance (BUA, 1995). Hence, this document focuses on exposures via routes relevant to occupational settings but also contains environmental information. Data identified as of December 1993 and December 1994, respectively, were covered. A further literature search was performed up to January 1998 to identify any extra information published since these reviews were completed. Information on the nature of the peer review and availability of the source documents is presented in Appendix 1. Information on the peer review of this CICAD is presented in Appendix 2. This CICAD was approved as an international assessment at a meeting of the Final Review Board, held in Washington, DC, USA, on 8–11 December 1998. Participants at the Final Review Board meeting are listed in Appendix 3. The International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC 0938) for phenylhydrazine, produced by the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS, 1993), has also been reproduced in this document. Phenylhydrazine (CAS No. 100-63-0) exists as yellow to pale brown crystals or as a yellowish oily liquid. It is sparingly soluble in water and is miscible with other organic solvents. Phenylhydrazine is used worldwide mainly as a chemical intermediate in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and chemical industries.
