Ionic Liquids as “Green Solvents”: Are they Safe?
2020
Ionic liquids or molten salts are organic salts in a liquid state under normalized conditions, composed by organic cations and inorganic or organic anions. Although they represent a wide diversity of industrial applications, several physicochemical properties and sustainable profile and are usually referred to as “green solvents”, nevertheless, the issues regarding their toxicity to the environment and to humans are still scarce. Considering the importance of the ionic liquids in the industrial area as well as the lack of information about their potential toxicity, this chapter aimed to further investigate the toxicological aspects of ionic liquids, mainly their impacts on human health, based on scientific data recently reported.
