These properties make ILs feasible for potential application. Industrialization of ILs has a potential to adversely affect and pose risk to the ecosystem because of their toxic nature. However, the conventional research on the ILs is mainly carried out by performing acute the toxicity assessment of individual species for individual ILs which is termed as effect assessment. Effect assessment for individual ILs is insufficient for the ecotoxicological risk assessment of ILs. Subsequently, effect assessment of single ILs on one species is not sufficient to evaluate risk. The main objective of the current research was to estimate the safe environmental concentrations (SECs) of ILs towards three bacterial strains V fischeri, E coli and S vacuolatus by Chemical Toxicity Distribution (CTD) method. CTDs provided the SECs for a group Imidazolium NTf2 ILs toward three bacteria. E coli was the most sensitive species amongst three species when exposed to the selected group of ILs with 2.976 � 10 -4 mmol/L as SEC. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. date: 2018 publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85059429928&doi=10.1088%2f1757-899X%2f458%2f1%2f012038&partnerID=40&md5=da5786ed34e90fbf6d8148af4181652d id_number: 10.1088/1757-899X/458/1/012038 full_text_status: none publication: IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering volume: 458 number: 1 refereed: TRUE issn: 17578981 citation: Khan, M.I. and Zaini, D. and Shariff, A.M. and Athar, M. and Shamim, M.Y.
