N2 - Environmentally open applications as herbicides or active pharmaceutical ingredients are discussed for ionic liquids (ILs). Since most of the ILs are not readily biodegradable in the environment, they may persist there. To prevent the accumulation of persistent and toxic ILs, both the cation and anion need to be designed to completely mineralise in the environment. Several studies summarised structure-biodegradability relationships (SBRs) and gained rules of thumb for ILs’ biodegradability based on the available literature data.
