A monolithic, hydrophilic stir bar coating based upon a copolymer of methacrylic acid and divinylbenzene [poly(MAA-co-DVB)] was synthesised and evaluated as a new polymeric phase for the stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) of polar compounds from complex environmental water samples. The experimental conditions for the extraction and liquid desorption in SBSE were optimised. Liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for the determination of a group of polar pharmaceuticals in environmental water matrices. The extraction performance of the poly(MAA-co-DVB) stir bar was compared to the extraction performance of a commercially available polydimethylsiloxane stir bar; it was found that the former gave rise to significantly higher extraction efficiency of polar analytes (% recovery values near to 100% for most of the studied analytes) than the commercial product. The developed method was applied to determine the studied analytes at low ng L-1 in different complex environmental water samples.
