The oxidation of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine(UDMH) with different oxidizing agents in atmosphere, water and soil has been reviewed. Emphasis is put on comparison of the oxidative products and the oxidation mechanism in different systems rather than on individual results. The number of the detected oxidative products are more than 30, and major identified products are N-nitrosodimethyamine, Formaldehyde dimethyldrazones, Dimethylamine, Tetramethyl-tetrazene, Formaldehyde, which are proved to have serious environment and human health impact. The main detailed pathway in ozone and oxygen reaction is primary abstracting hydrogen for N-H bond with formation N-amine radical or diazene, followed by add oxygen to form N-oxides radicals; Moreover, the N-oxides radicals undergo disproportion forming NDMA and the diazene leads to dimerization to tetramethyltetrazone, cleavage to dimethylamine; while the hydroxide radical tends to abstract hydrogen from C-H bond leads to formaldehyde and formaldehyde dimethyldrazone. In order to clarify understanding the mechanism, the evaluation of transformation products quantitative analysis, as well as the advancement in theoretical and computational methods is the key role for the further study.
