General Advice: Move affected individual to fresh air. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and rinse skin thoroughly.
EYE Contact: Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Remove contact lenses, continue rinsing, get medical help.
SKIN Contact: Wash exposed skin using plenty of water and mild soap. See a physician if irritation spreads or does not subside.
INHALATION: Bring person to fresh air. Provide oxygen or artificial respiration if breathing feels difficult. Call for medical attention.
INGESTION: Rinse mouth with clean water, do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical assistance and show product label or MSDS.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam extinguishers. Water spray may help cool containers but avoid water jets directly on chemical.
Specific Hazards: Thermal decomposition yields corrosive or toxic vapors such as hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, and cyanide compounds.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Firefighting Procedures: Keep containers cool with water spray. Avoid breathing fumes, remove personnel from danger zone.
Combustion Products: Hydrogen chloride, carbon oxides, small amounts of nitrogen compounds and potentially toxic gases may be released.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate spilled site, wear appropriate PPE including gloves, goggles, lab coat, and mask.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff into sewers, ground, or water bodies; absorb spills with inert material like sand.
Methods for Cleanup: Scoop up material using non-sparking tools; place in sealable chemical waste container; wash spill site thoroughly with water and detergent.
Disposal: Dispose in accordance with local and national regulations.
Handling: Ensure proper ventilation in workspaces. Avoid ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. Use protective gear at all times.
Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space. Keep away from incompatible substances like strong oxidizers and open flame or heat sources.
Hygiene: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use. Wash hands with plenty of water after every handling. Keep separate from food and feed products.
Storage Limit: Store in original packaging, do not reuse empty containers for other chemicals.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general laboratory ventilation.
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective nitrile gloves, safety goggles, chemical splash lab coat, and, when ventilation is poor, a NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator.
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for this substance, monitor as a general nuisance dust/vapor.
Hygiene Measures: Do not allow product into eyes, mouth, or onto skin. Wash hands and face after chemical handling.
Environmental Exposure: Prevent release to environment. Use containment and chemical waste protocols.

Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, direct sunlight, open flames, and moisture exposure.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, bases, and reducing agents.
Hazardous Decomposition: Prolonged heating may generate toxic fumes, including hydrogen chloride, cyanide derivatives, carbon oxides, and nitrogen oxides.
Polymerization: Not expected to undergo hazardous polymerization.
Acute Toxicity: No acute toxicity data available for 1-Cyanopropyl-3-Methylimidazolium Chloride; similar imidazolium compounds may cause mild irritation.
Skin Contact: May result in redness, itching, or rash; no evidence of skin absorption at normal exposure.
Eye Contact: Exposure causes mild to moderate irritation such as discomfort, redness, or watering.
Inhalation: Aerosols, mists, or dust can irritate respiratory passages and cause coughing.
Chronic Effects: No evidence of significant long-term toxicity from routine laboratory use, repeated long-term exposure may increase irritant effects.
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: No classification as carcinogen or mutagen; not listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA.
Additional Data: No known reproductive or developmental effects. LD50 and LC50 data not available.
Ecotoxicity: Data on aquatic or terrestrial organisms limited; ionic liquids may persist in aquatic environments and affect microorganisms.
Persistence: May not readily biodegrade; potential for environmental persistence comparable to other ionic liquids.
Bioaccumulation: Low bioaccumulation potential expected due to water solubility.
Mobility: Spills can migrate through soil to groundwater if not contained.
Aquatic Toxicity: No acute data on fish or invertebrates; take care to avoid environmental release.
Other Adverse Effects: Do not discharge into drains, surface waters, or groundwater untreated.
Waste Disposal: Dispose of unused material, contaminated packaging, and solution via licensed chemical waste disposal contractor.
Regulations: Follow state, federal, and local waste management regulations. Do not dump into water bodies or sewer systems.
Empty Containers: Triple rinse, deface labels, dispose as hazardous chemical waste.
Recommended Treatment: Incinerate at high temperature in compliance with environmental protection guidelines, avoid landfilling.
