a b s t r a c tIn this study, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) combined with ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-tunable ultraviolet detection (TUV), has been developed for pre-concentration and determination of triclosan (TCS), triclocarban (TCC) and methyl-triclosan (M-TCS) in aqueous samples. The key factors, including the kind and volume of extraction solvent and dispersive solvent, extraction time, salt effect and pH, which probably affect the extraction efficiencies were examined and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, linearity of the method was observed in the range of 0.0500-100 g L −1for TCS, 0.0250-50.0 g L −1 for TCC, and 0.500-100 g L −1 for M-TCS, respectively, with correlation coefficients (r 2 ) > 0.9945. The limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 45.1 to 236 ng L −1 . TCS in domestic waters was detected with the concentration of 2.08 g L −1 . The spiked recoveries of three target compounds in river water, irrigating water, reclaimed water and domestic water samples were achieved in the range of 96.4-121%, 64.3-84.9%, 77.2-115% and 75.5-106%, respectively. As a result, this method can be successfully applied for the rapid and convenient determination of TCS, TCC and M-TCS in real water samples.

In this study, organochlorine pesticides (HCHs and DDTs) in earthworm and soil contacted closely with it were determined for the purpose of the risk assessment of chemicals in the urban leisure environment. The level of total hexachlorocyclohexanes and (HCHs) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) in earthworms was 0.6500-44.78 ng g -1 and 18.97-1.112 9 104 ng g -1 , respectively. Absolutely high levels of DDT and its metabolites in earthworm and correlative soils samples, and the bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of DDTs probably presents certain risk to the higher trophic organisms through its food chain, especially birds.
