Polymerization: No hazardous polymerization under regular use
Likely Routes of Exposure: Skin and eye contact, inhalation, ingestion
Acute Toxicity: May be harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin, limited human toxicity data, refer to animal studies for LD50 values
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Can cause skin irritation and redness
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes moderate to severe eye irritation
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: Not expected to cause sensitization, but repeated contact may increase risk
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause dermatitis, upper respiratory tract irritation, possibly mild liver stress in rare cases
Carcinogenicity: Not classified as carcinogenic according to available data
Reproductive Toxicity: No evidence for reproductive effects in available studies
Mutagenicity: No evidence for mutagenic activity based on current information
Ecotoxicity: Potentially toxic to fish, daphnia, algae, and other aquatic organisms, risk of bioaccumulation should be considered
Aquatic Toxicity Data: No definitive values, but likely significant above 1 mg/L for certain species
Persistence and Degradability: Moderately persistent in water and soil, slow biodegradation rate under natural conditions
Bioaccumulative Potential: Some risk due to ionic liquid persistence
Mobility in Soil: High solubility in water leads to mobility, potential groundwater contamination if released
Other Adverse Effects: May disrupt aquatic life cycles, handle in line with responsible chemical practices
Product Disposal: Treat as non-halogenated organic waste, send to licensed hazardous waste disposal facility, avoid pouring down drains or releasing to the environment
