Liquid–liquid extraction of OSPW NAs using six solvents at three pHs (2.0, 8.5, 12.0).
n-pentane, n-hexane, cyclohexane, dichloromethane, ethyl ether, and ethyl acetate.
Extractability of molecules depends on polarity and ions on water solubility.
Ethyl ether is an alternative to dichloromethane for extraction of Ox–NAs (2 ≤ x ≤ 4).
Dichloromethane use can be discontinued to limit human health risk.
