Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical advice immediately; never give anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: Toxic and irritating fumes may release during combustion (hydrogen bromide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide)
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical-resistant suit, use full protective clothing
Advice for Firefighters: Prevent run-off from entering drains or water courses, ventilate area after fire, keep containers cool with water spray
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate personal protective equipment, avoid inhalation of dust, ensure adequate ventilation, remove sources of ignition
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so, do not let product enter drains or reach aquatic environments
Methods for Clean-up: Absorb spillage with inert material (sand, diatomaceous earth), place in chemical waste container, clean area with detergent and water, dispose according to local hazardous waste regulations
Safe Handling: Wear protective gloves, clothing, and eye protection, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, avoid dust formation, use in chemical fume hood, do not eat, drink or smoke while handling, wash hands thoroughly after use
Storage Conditions: Keep container tightly closed, store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, protect from light and moisture, separate from incompatible materials (strong oxidizers)
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong oxidizers, strong bases, reducing agents
Storage Temperature: Ambient, recommended to keep below 25°C for long-term stability
Engineering Controls: Handle only in fume hood or with local exhaust ventilation, prevent dust accumulation
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits established for this compound
Personal Protection: Safety goggles approved for chemical splashes, lab coat or apron, disposable nitrile or butyl rubber gloves, P2 particle filtering respirator if dust forms
Hygiene Measures: Wash face, hands, and any exposed skin after handling, remove contaminated clothing before eating or entering communal spaces

Reactivity: No dangerous reactions under normal conditions
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: Strong oxidizers or acids may trigger decomposition, producing hazardous gases
Conditions to Avoid: Incompatible substances, strong heat, UV light, humidity
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen bromide, imidazole derivatives, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides
Acute Toxicity: Oral and dermal toxicology not fully assessed for humans, data on imidazolium salts in general suggests mild to moderate toxicity (oral rat LD50 likely >300 mg/kg)
Inhalation: Irritation of mucous membranes possible with dust exposure
Skin Contact: Redness, irritation, sometimes mild allergic response
Eye Contact: Redness, tearing, pain
Chronic Effects: Long term studies limited, imidazolium-based ionic liquids may pose hazards with repeated exposure based on some animal studies
Carcinogenicity: No classification by IARC, ACGIH, NTP, or OSHA
Mutagenicity: Not known to be mutagenic, data insufficient
Specific Target Organ Toxicity: Not classified
Ecotoxicity: Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in aquatic environments
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to be persistent under normal environmental conditions, imidazolium salts have shown low biodegradation rates
Bioaccumulation: Potential for bioaccumulation exists; exact data for this compound unavailable
Mobility in Soil: Likely moderate to low mobility considering water solubility
Other Adverse Effects: Avoid release to the environment due to incomplete degradation and potential aquatic toxicity
Waste Treatment Methods: Collect and transfer material to properly labeled container for hazardous waste disposal per local and national regulations
Unused Product: Incineration in licensed facility preferred
Contaminated Packaging: Dispose of as hazardous chemical waste, rinse before discarding only if allowed by jurisdiction
Precautions: Do not discharge into drains, surface water, or ground water; avoid unintentional release into the environment
