AB The use of psychoactive substances, including illegal drugs, drugs of abuse and psychiatric pharmaceuticals, is a major healthand environmental issue. In particular, drugs are found in urban sewage and water ecosystems. The analysis of drugs inwastewater is challenging because drugs occur at trace levels in complex organo-mineral media, calling for advanced analytical methods. Here we review recent methods developped to analyze drugs in sludge, sediments, soils and biota. Extractionmethods include solid–liquid extraction, sonication, microwave, and quick, easy, cheap, efective, rugged and safe extraction (QuEChERS). We compare and discuss advantages and disadvantages of each analytical step for various sample types.
