These particular pieces may not be dangerous, but some other pieces people could find could be with a higher level of contamination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsymmetrical_dimethylhydrazin...

Wouldn't the harmful stuff eventually dissipate? How long would one have to wait to safely scavenge a booster sitting in the open?

It's not possible to safely scavenge a booster sitting in the open, because by the time it could be dissipated it will long be scavenged unsafely by someone else.
