Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke when handling, wash hands and face after use
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances like strong oxidizers or acids
Container Requirements: Keep in chemical-resistant containers, label correctly, prevent moisture ingress
Incompatibilities: Avoid strong bases, acids, oxidizing agents, high temperatures for prolonged periods
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or local exhaust ventilation, emergency eye wash facilities, and safety shower recommended
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene preferred), safety goggles or face shield, lab coat or apron, closed footwear
Respiratory Protection: For low concentrations, a dust mask approved for chemicals; for higher concentrations, wear respirator following national standards

Hazardous Reactions: None expected under normal conditions, avoid unintended mixing with incompatible chemicals
Acute Toxicity: Data limited, estimated low acute oral and dermal toxicity based on similar imidazolium ionic liquids
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Possible irritation from repeated or prolonged contact
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: May cause irritation or redness
Respiratory or Skin Sensitization: Not expected, but cases can occur in sensitive users
Chronic Effects: No long-term toxicity studies available, caution recommended
Mutagenicity/Carcinogenicity: No data suggesting mutagenic or carcinogenic properties
Target Organs: No target organ toxicity known
Toxicity: May be harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects, high bioaccumulation potential reported in literature for imidazolium salts
Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable, persists in environment
Bioaccumulative Potential: Expected bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms and soil
Mobility in Soil: Likely to partition from water to organic matter and sediment
Other Adverse Effects: Discharge to the environment can disrupt local aquatic ecosystems, precautions necessary to minimize environmental release
