The thesis on the topic ''Monitoring of phthalic acid esters in agricultural soil'' is focused on the contamination of the agricultural soils by dibuthyl phtalate (DBP) and di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). This thesis was created in cooperation with the Central Control and Testing Institute of Agriculture as a part of annual soil monitoring of organic contaminants. Forty soil samples were taken in February and March of 2017. The monitoring was carried in twelve regions of the Czech Republic. Samples were extracted using sonication and mixture of acetone-hexane (1:1). Samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography with UV detection. The measured concentrations ranged for DBP from 0,01 to 0,53 mg.kg-1 dry weight and for DEHP from 0,00 to 0,65 mg.kg-1 dry weight. None of these concentration levels exceeded the values set by the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic and stated in its Guideline, based on the RSL (Regional Screening Levels) published by the United States' Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
