Abstract

Highlights: [•] 24-h LC50 concentrations of 8 ionic liquids to C. elegans were determined. [•] Significant increases of biomarkers (ROS and lipofuscin) were observed. [•] DMSO remarkably rescued the lethality of worms and decreased the ROS level. [•] ROS play an important role in IL-induced toxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
