Abstract

An extraction method based on the use of a focused microwave-assisted Soxhlet extractor with subsequent gas chromatography separation and mass spectrometry detection is proposed for the analysis of environmental pollutants from marine sediments collected at the outflow of an urban wastewater treatment plant to the sea. For the extraction of compounds with different polarity, sequential extraction with dichloromethane and water was performed on each sample. The experimental variables were optimized by the experimental design methodology for both the organic and aqueous extractant. The total time required for quantitative extraction of triclosan, bisphenol A, estrone, estradiol, oxyfluorofen and permethrin was 75 min, a short time as compared with the 24 h Soxhlet extraction (diethylstilbestrol, 4-octylphenol, procymidone and 2,7/2,8-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin isomer pair).
