Subcellular effects of imidazolium-based ionic liquids with varying anions on the marine bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis.

ABSTRACT: Green Chemistry involves applying a set of principles aimed at minimizing the use of hazardous substances in the design, production, and application of chemical products. In recent decades, Ionic Liquids (ILs) have emerged as more environmentally friendly substitutes for traditional organic solvents. This preference is primarily due to their low vapor pressure, which results in minimal atmospheric pollution and enhanced industrial safety. However, existing literature highlights the toxicity of ILs towards aquatic invertebrates. Consequently, this study points to assess the biochemical effects of a selection of ILs through an in vitro approach. Specifically, digestive gland and gill cellular fractions (S9) of the marine bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis were exposed to varying
