Vegetable crops can adsorb hazardous pollutants from water and soils. The occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment is considered a problematic matter with unknown long-term effects. Thus, the objective of this work was to develop, for the first time, a rapid, sensitive, and ecological methodology based on Natural Deep Eutectic Systems (NADES) to extract ibuprofen in baby lettuce samples. The proposed strategy involves a sustainable sample preparation step, leading to an efficient and selective analytical methodology suitable for high-throughput analysis (
