This review aims to synthesize the environmental impacts and toxicity mechanisms of ionic liquids (ILs), while proposing strategies for their sustainable design.
Comprehensive analysis of ionic liquids' environmental footprint and ecotoxicity mechanisms.
Evaluation of quantitative structure-toxicity relationship (QSTR) models and machine learning approaches.
Identifying critical knowledge gaps and proposing future research directions for ionic liquids.
Ionic liquids disrupt biological systems by membrane permeabilization and inhibition of metalloenzymes.
The role of QSTR models and machine learning was highlighted as pivotal for advancing risk prediction.
Critical knowledge gaps were identified regarding long-term low-dose exposure and mixture toxicity.
