In this study, a simple and rapid sample preparation method based on ultrasound-assisted salt-induced liquid-liquid microextraction (UA-SI-LLME) followed by high performance liquid chromatography{\^a}??diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) was developed for the determination of triclosan, triclocarban and methyl-triclosan in water. Parameters that affect the extraction efficiency{\^a}??such as type and mass of salt, type and volume of extraction solvent, extraction time, sample pH and sample volume{\^a}??were studied. Under the optimized conditions, the method demonstrated linearity from 0.18 to 1000 {\^A}ug L{\^a}??1 with coefficients of determination R2 {\^a}?Y 0.9899, limits of detection from 0.05 to 0.2 {\^A}ug L{\^a}??1, and good recoveries (\> 70) with relative standard deviations \< 10. The method was applied for the determination of triclosan, triclocarban, and methyl-triclosan in swimming pool, lake, and wastewater. The greenness of the method was quantified using the Analytical Eco-Scale Index. {\^A}{\copyright} 2022 Taylor \& Francis Group, LLC.}, author = {Rozaini, M. N.
