Abstract
Using several extraction methods including the QuEChERS approach, samples of both model and natural sediments were prepared. For the isolation of the target group of pesticides, two variants of two complementary extractions had to be used. Resulting extracts were analysed with LC/MS/MS. Selected methods furnishing the best results were validated in the terms of linearity and repeatability. Their limits of detection ranged from 0.1 to 2 ng/g, their limits of quantification from 1 to 6 ng/g and their recovery percentage varied between 46 % and 102 %.
