Sumario:Water is essential for humankind not only for its direct consumption but also for its multiple applications in industry or agriculture, among others. The presence of undesirable substances or pollutants directly affects its quality. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to develop analytical methodologies which permit the detection and/or quantification of different species or compounds that can restrict their usage. The research presented in this thesis is focused on the design, preparation and characterization of new analytical methodologies based on functionalized membranes for the preconcentration and speciation of pollutants in the aqueous environment
