Data on the spatial distribution of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and its transformation products in peat bog soil of rocket stage fall site in Russian North.

The data set covers the results of a study of 96 samples of peat bog soil from the fall place of the first stage of the Cyclone-3 launch vehicle contained unburned toxic rocket fuel 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) in the European North of Russia. Soil samples were taken during a helicopter expedition to the "Koida" fall region of Plesetsk Cosmodrome operation zone in October 2015 at different distances from the center of the fall site and from different soil horizons. Samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography with amperometric detection and gas chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry. The contents of UDMH and the ten most important products of its transformations (methylhydrazine, hydrazine, 1,1,4,4-tetramethyltetrazene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and furaldehyde N,N-dimethylhydrazones, 1-formyl-2,2-dimethylhydrazine, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-nitrosodimethylamine, and 1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole) were determined. The obtained data reflect the spatial distribution, migration and transformation of UDMH in the fall places of rocket stages under conditions of subarctic which is discussed in related research article "Migration and transformation of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine in peat bog soil of rocket stage fall site in Russian North" [1]. They can be further used for understanding the UDMH transformation pathways in soils rich in organic matter and assessment of environmental impact of space rocket activities in high latitudes.
