  abstract = {{B}ecause of their widespread application, phthalates or phthalic acid esters ({PAE}s) are ubiquitous in the environment. {T}heir presence has attracted considerable attention due to their potential impacts on ecosystem functioning and on public health, so their quantification has become a necessity. {V}arious extraction procedures as well as gas/liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry detection techniques are found as suitable for reliable detection of such compounds. {H}owever, {PAE}s are ubiquitous in the laboratory environment including ambient air, reagents, sampling equipment, and various analytical devices, that induces difficult analysis of real samples with a low {PAE} background. {T}herefore, accurate {PAE} analysis in environmental matrices is a challenging task. {T}his paper reviews the extensive literature data on the techniques for {PAE} quantification in natural media. {S}ampling, sample extraction/pretreatment and detection for quantifying {PAE}s in different environmental matrices (air, water, sludge, sediment and soil) have been reviewed and compared. {T}he concept of "green analytical chemistry" for {PAE} determination is also discussed. {M}oreover useful information about the material preparation and the procedures of quality control and quality assurance are presented to overcome the problem of sample contamination and these encountered due to matrix effects in order to avoid overestimating {PAE} concentrations in the environment.},
