Toxicity of “green solvents” - The impact of butyl methylimidazolium ionic liquids on daphnids

Ionic liquids have been described as green solvents, however, their presence in the aquatic environment may indicate a threat for key species. Focusing on the freshwater ecosystem, five ionic liquids containing the 1‑butyl‑3-methylimidazolium (BMIM) cation were compared for their acute toxicity and...
