Abstract
Micropollutants have emerged as a new class of pollutants due to their harmful effects on humans and livestock, even at low concentrations. Even if present in low quantities, micropollutants have been associated with a range of detrimental impacts on humans and livestock, including poisoning, neurotoxicity, endocrine-disrupting effects, and microorganism antibiotic resistance. Green solvents, especially hydrophobic DESs (HDESs) through liquid-liquid extraction and microextraction (LLE/LLME) can have a revolutionary impact in achieving the efficient pharmaceutical removal pathway.
