“…However, liquid-liquid Extraction (LLE), solid phase micro extraction (SPME), dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), SPE online, stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) are often reported (Farajzadeh & Mogaddam, 2012a;Farajzadeh & Mogaddam, 2012b;Zaater, Tahboub & Sayyed, 2014;Selvaraj et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2015;Caballero-Casero, Lunar & Rubio, 2016;Olatunji et al, 2017;Rozaini et al, 2017;De Araujo, Bauerfeldt & Cid, 2018;Barreca et al, 2019;He & Aga, 2019;Król & Dudziak, 2019). The quantitative analysis is frequently performed by the liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (CG-MS) techniques, although other detectors of other kinds coupled to the liquid chromatography are used, such as liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (LC-UV), liquid chromatography with diode array detection (LC-DAD) and liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (LC-FLD) (Zgoła-Grześkowiak et al, 2009;Chen et al, 2010;Lou et al, 2012;Ciofi et al, 2014;Padhye et al, 2014;Camilleri et al, 2015;Terzopoulou, Voutsa & Kaklamanos, 2015;, Asati, Satyanarayana & Patel, 2017;Comtois-Marotte et al, 2017;De Araujo, Bauerfeldt & Cid, 2018. The realization that conventional water and sewage treatment systems do not completely remove most of these micropollutants opens a discussion of a possible worrisome public health problem, since micropollutants may be present in the water supply (Matsuo et al, 2011;Moreira et al, 2011;Silveira et al, 2013;Tran, Hu & Ong, 2013;Dai et al, 2014;Mann et al, 2016;Valls-Cantenys et al, 2016;Tröger et al, 2018;Starling, Amorim & Leão, 2019).…”
