	abstract = {The examination of contemporary textiles continuously offers amazing perspectives of the past for anyone who exploresthem. The ethnographic textile pieces are complex, both from the perspective of the component materials and regardingthe techniques used for their manufacture. The action of conserving the cultural and artistic patrimony is firstly a matterof scientific research and then of technical execution. However, the possible health effects on the personnel, which aredirectly involved in the actions of sampling, conservation or restoration of the textile art objects, must always be takeninto consideration. Textile objects can be contaminated with various toxic residues (e.g., pesticides). When investigatingarchaeological, modern and contemporary textiles it is very important to maintain the integrity of the artifacts, as theycannot be replaced, and the consumption or damage of even a small part of them for analytical purposes should beundertaken only if the data cannot be obtained differently. For determining the presence of pesticides in the samplesthey   must   be   subjected   to   processes   such   as:   extraction,   enrichment   of   samples,   isolation,   identification,   andquantification.Given the above, the most common methods of extraction and determination of pesticides present in textile artifactswere briefly discussed. Punctually, the analytical techniques used in the case of three selected pesticides (malathion,methoxychlor and permethrin) were evaluated.},
