Resumo(s)
Wastewater analysis plays a central role in monitoring patterns of drug use within specific
populations. It provides objective and real-time estimates of consumption, with minimal
ethical concerns. In the current European context, drugs of abuse continue to be detected
in wastewater, with varying incidences across countries. Their monitoring enables the
prioritisation of public health and legal interventions by healthcare professionals and drug
monitoring agencies. Therefore, the development and implementation of efficient methodologies
for monitoring drugs of abuse in wastewater samples is of critical importance. This
systematic review aims to explore the use of miniaturised sample extraction techniques
based on solid-phase microextraction for the determination of drugs of abuse in wastewater.
In fact, the extraction procedure must be fast, effective, and selective in order to retain the
analytes of interest. Miniaturised techniques have thus emerged as promising alternatives
to conventional methods. Magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) and molecularly imprinted
polymers (MIPs) represent the most widely applied solid-phase microextraction
techniques in recent years for the analysis of drugs of abuse in wastewater. Looking ahead,
future perspectives include the development of eco-friendly workflows, automated and
time-efficient techniques, increasingly selective sorbents, and robust analytical methods.
