Abstract: This review describes the recent advances in the development of new sorbent materials for solid-phase extraction for improving the retention of more polar contaminants, as well as removing interferences from the matrix in environmental analysis. This overview mainly focuses on the most commonly used commercial and in-house sorbents for SPE for extracting polar pollutants from environmental samples. There is a discussion and assessment of the enhancement in terms of selectivity provided by molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and mixed-mode sorbents, and their ability to reduce the matrix effect in environmental matrices. Moreover, recent approaches in MIPs and other materials and formats of sorptive extraction techniques are discussed
