Advice for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit, avoid inhalation, move containers from fire area if safe
Further Info: Cool unopened containers with water spray, do not allow run-off into drains
Personal Precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation, wear PPE including gloves, goggles, lab coat, and a respirator for large spills
Environmental Precautions: Prevent leaks entering sewers, ground, or water bodies, notify authorities in case of large spills
Methods for Cleaning Up: Absorb with inert material, sweep up, place in labeled chemical waste containers, ventilate area thoroughly
Additional Advice: Properly dispose of contaminated material and thoroughly clean the surface
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation, avoid inhaling dust or vapor, do not eat, drink, or smoke near product use, wash hands after handling
Storage: Store in tightly sealed, labeled containers away from strong oxidizers, acids, and bases, keep at 2-8°C, protect from light and moisture
Incompatibilities: Strong acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents
Specific Use Notes: Only trained personnel should manipulate the product, employ tools and methods minimizing accidental spills
Exposure Limits: No established national OELs, minimize exposure to low levels as a precaution
Engineering Controls: Use within a chemical fume hood, provide safety showers and eye wash stations
Personal Protection: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, chemical splash goggles, liquid-impermeable lab coat, proper footwear, full-face respirators in high vapor/dust settings
Hygiene Measures: Change contaminated clothing promptly, wash thoroughly before breaks and after use

Acute Toxicity: Low acute toxicity, LD50 (oral, rat): >2000 mg/kg
Routes of Exposure: Eye, skin, inhalation, ingestion
Symptoms: Redness, irritation, cough, stomach upset, headache at high concentrations
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Potential for mild to moderate irritation with prolonged contact
Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes moderate irritation
Respiratory Sensitization: Not indicated
Chronic Effects: No evidence from limited studies, but long-term exposure avoided as a best practice
Ecotoxicity: Potential toxicity toward aquatic organisms based on ionic liquid structure, lower rates of biodegradation
Mobility: Miscible with water, may move rapidly in aquatic environments
Persistence and Degradability: Limited biodegradability, long environmental persistence if released
Bioaccumulative Potential: Not expected to bioaccumulate significantly, yet not well studied
Other Effects: Discharge into water bodies may have unpredictable consequences for plant and microscopic aquatic life
Disposal Methods: Treat as hazardous chemical waste, incinerate under controlled conditions at a licensed facility
Contaminated Packaging: Triple rinse before recycling or disposal, label containers as hazardous waste
Precautions: Never pour into drains or natural environments, contact authorized waste disposal agencies for guidance
Legal Compliance: Adhere to local, regional, and national hazardous waste regulations
UN Number: Not regulated as hazardous under international transport guidelines, exact classification depends on quantity and form
