Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus, fully protective gear, avoid inhalation of combustion gases
Advice for Firefighters: Cool surrounding containers with water spray, avoid runoff from fire control entering drains or watercourses
Personal Precautions: Wear suitable gloves, goggles, and protective clothing to block skin and eye exposure
Environmental Precautions: Prevent leakage into drains, surface water, or soil; use containment methods for spills
Methods for Clean-up: Absorb with inert material (sand, earth), shovel into designated chemical waste containers, wash area with plenty of water, provide adequate ventilation
Considerations: Dispose of contaminated cleanup materials as hazardous waste, decontaminate reusable equipment before reuse
Handling: Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination, minimize dust or vapor formation, only use with proper ventilation, avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing
Storage: Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area, keep container tightly sealed, place away from incompatible substances such as oxidizers, acids, and moisture, avoid freezing and excessive heat, label containers with content and hazard information
Hygiene Practices: Clean work surfaces and equipment after handling, practice routine hand washing before eating, drinking, or using the restroom
Engineering Controls: Work inside chemical fume hood or use local exhaust ventilation system for large scale use
Eye Protection: Wear chemical splash goggles or full-face protection
Skin Protection: Impervious gloves and lab coat recommended, use chemical resistant clothing for larger scale operations
Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirator if exposure risk is significant, especially in poorly ventilated areas
Environmental Exposure Controls: Avoid release into the environment, ensure effluent complies with local regulations
Occupational Exposure Limits: Not established, observe standard practices for chemical operations

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, imidazole derivatives, toxic gaseous fragments
Polymerization: Not expected to undergo hazardous polymerization
Acute Toxicity: No specific data, low acute toxicity expected based on structural analogs, but may cause moderate irritation
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Provokes irritation, potential for moderate local skin effects
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation: Causes substantial irritation, possible reversible eye effects
Respiratory Sensitization: May irritate respiratory tract
Chronic Effects: No established long-term effects, avoid repeated contact
Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, dermal, ingestion, ocular exposure
Carcinogenicity/Mutagenicity: Not reported for this chemical, but general laboratory caution advised
Ecotoxicity: Data limited, ionic liquids may persist and bioaccumulate, may be hazardous to aquatic organisms at high concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Not readily biodegradable, environmental fate data lacking for this compound
Bioaccumulation: Risk exists, particularly in aquatic environments due to low volatility and possible toxicity
Mobility in Soil: Mobile in water, may penetrate soil structure
Avoid Release: Prevent spillage, do not pour into drains or waterways, follow responsible waste practices to reduce environmental impact
Waste Treatment Methods: Collect in sealed, clearly labeled chemical waste containers, follow local, regional, and national guidelines for hazardous waste
Contaminated Packaging: Treat as hazardous waste, empty as much as possible, rinse containers only if allowed by regulation
Preferred Disposal: Incineration in approved chemical waste facility
Additional Notes: Do not dispose of with general waste, avoid environmental contamination through runoff
