Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) based on carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotube fibers was used to extract several chlorophenols (CPs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) from aqueous samples prior to their determination by GC with electron capture detection. The main parameters affecting microextraction (temperature, time, stirring rate and salting-out effect) and the conditions of the thermal desorption in the GC injector were optimized. Compared with commercial SPME fibers, the fiber presented better selectivity and sensitivity. Linear response was found for the concentration range between 2 and 1000 ng L-1 (20-1000 ng L-1 for CPs), and the limits of detection were in the range from 0.07 to 4.36 ng L-1. The repeatability expressed as relative standard deviation ranged from 4.1 % to 8.2 % and the fiber-to-fiber reproducibility for four prepared fibers was between 6.5 % and 10.8 %. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of CPs and OCPs in lake water and waste water samples. Recovery was tested with spiked lake water and waste water samples, with values ranging from 89.7 % to 101.2 % in case of waste water samples.
