A simple, sensitive and selective method for the simultaneous determination of five ultraviolet (UV) filters: benzophenone, octyl salicylate, homosalate, 3-(4-methylbenzylidene) camphor, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone in aqueous samples was developed. The analytes were extracted by plunger-in-needle solid-phase microextraction with graphene as sorbent, then
