We systematically elucidate the fundamental molecular mechanisms underpinning their ecotoxicity, framing IL ions as exogenous ligands that disrupt biological systems through membrane permeabilization, coordination-driven inhibition of metalloenzymes, and intercalation with genetic material. A particular focus is placed on tracing the environmental fate and behaviour of ILs. Furthermore, the review critically evaluates the burgeoning role of quantitative structure-toxicity relationship (QSTR) models and machine learning in advancing from retrospective hazard assessment to prospective risk prediction. By integrating mechanistic insights with fate analysis and computational toxicology, we consolidate a forward-looking framework for the rational design of greener ILs.
