The extraction of organic contaminants from water and sediment samples is the critical and time consuming step in the analysis as they are present in trace amounts. In this study, efficient, selective, and rapid analytical methods in determining organic contaminants in water and sediment samples were developed. Since these compounds are of wide range polarity, a tandem-cartridges solid phase extraction (SPE) using C18 and LiChrolut EN was found to be efficient with the advantage of minimising sample volume and reducing analysis time. Sediment samples were extracted using pressurized liquid...
