The aim of study was to characterize pollution of water in protected area of Zobnatica Lake in the vicinity of Backa Topola, Serbia. The sampling campaigns were conducted in spring and summer 2019 in order to identify organic pollutants in water samples. Samples were prepared by liquid-liquid extraction and analyzed by GC-MS in SCAN and SIM mode. Screening analyses indicated the presence of pesticides: terbuthylazine, alpha-cypermethrin, aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA) and urea. Terbuthylazine was detected in both sampling campaigns. Results specified the need for comprehensive water monitoring program in order to determine specific pollutants in protected area of Lake Zobnatica caused water pollution by agricultural activities.
