A simple, sensitive, quick, easy and efficient (SSQuEE) analytical technique based on cloud point
extraction (CPE) has been developed for the determination of different pesticides present in soil and
water with high performance liquid chromatography separation and ultraviolet detection. The
environmentally friendliness surfactant like Triton X -100, compared to Tween series of non-ionic
surfactant can effectively extract imidacloprid (insecticide), flusilazole (fungicide) and atrazine (herbicide)
at cloud point temperature at 67 ºC, 82 ºC and 62 ºC, respectively. To reach the optimum extraction
efficiency, different experimental parameters like surfactant concentration, salt type and its
concentration, equilibrium time and temperature, pH were observed. At the optimum conditions, linear
regression coefficient of the standard curves was greater than 0.9924. The limit of detection of imidacloprid,
flusilazole and atrazine were 0.10 μg L-1, 0.24 μg L-1, 0.15 μg L-1 and recovery percent are 99.71 %,
88.1% and 89.74%, respectively.
