A relatively new adsorbent based on covalent organic frameworks (COFs) was employed for the frst time to extract and determine Trans, trans-muconic acid (tt-MA), Mandelic acid (MA), Hippuric acid (HA), and 3-Methylhippuric acid (m-MHA) in urine. For this purpose, microextraction was performed using the packed sorbent (MEPS) method. Following the extraction process, the prepared samples were specifed via the high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector system. The precipitation polymerization was applied to synthesize the Fe3O4@TbBd nanobeads, and the morphological and dimensional structures of the products were specifed with FE-SEM images. Some key variables affecting the extraction effciency (i.e., sample volume, elution volume, condition and washing solvents, type and volume of elution solvent, extraction cycles, temperature, and pH of the sample solution) were investigated. In ideal conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) was obtained from 0.02 µg/ml for tt-MA to 0.5 µg/ml for MA. Calibration curves (at fve-point) were plotted in the range 0.05–5 µg/ml for tt-MA to 1–300 µg/ml for MA (R2 > 0.98). Moreover, intra- and inter-day precision values were 3.1–5.5 and 4.6–9.8%, respectively. The developed method was successfully employed to determine four analytes in three concentrations (low, medium, and high QCs). The results showed a satisfactory recovery (70–87%). COF-MEPS technique is a rapid, easy, user-friendly, and environment-friendly method for separating the minimum values of all BTEXs chief biomarkers from urine samples without using complicated processes and only with one adsorbent. Also, it can be a good alternative for biomonitoring the workers exposed to BTEX compounds in occupational and environmental access.
