“…Up to now, various pretreatment techniques have been attempted to extract PAEs from different samples, such as liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) [6,7], solid-phase extraction (SPE) [8][9][10][11][12][13], solid-phase microextraction (SPME) [14][15][16][17][18], liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) [19], LPME method based on the solidification of a floating organic microdrop (LPME-SFO) [20], accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) [21], stir-bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) [22], single-drop microextraction (SDME) [23], dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) [24][25][26], hollow fiber-based liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) [27], polymer monolith microextraction (PMME) [28], supercritical fluid extraction [29], and ultrasound-assisted emulsification-microextraction (USAEME) [30]. Among them, SPE and SPME are the mostly used techniques for environmental analysis.…”
