The stability of representatives of different groups of polar pesticid
es (triazines, phenylureas, carbamates, chlorinated phenols) sorbed fr
om water samples onto a polymer sorbent and stored under different con
ditions was investigated. The results confirmed the stability of most
of the pesticides stored on the sorbent during a seven-week period at
room temperature or in the refrigerator after sorption from tap water.
The differences between the stability of analytes when stored on wet
or silica gel-dried sorbent were negligible. The pH value of the water
sample had a significant influence on the stability of only those com
pounds that had acidobasic properties. The results obtained with surfa
ce water were similar to those obtained with tap water. In general, so
lid-phase extraction was confirmed to be a suitable technique when lon
g-term preservation of analytes prior to analysis is required. (C) 199
