The use of Microwave Assisted Solvent Extraction (MASE) for the liquid-solid extraction of a group of organochlorine pesticides from soil samples was investigated. Analysis of the pesticides took place by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection. To optimize MASE, several extraction solvents and solvent mixtures were tested. Also the influence on the extraction of the amount of water added to the soil samples before MASE was studied.
