The dataset presented in this article supports “Optimization and validation of a method for the simultaneous environmental monitoring of 218 pesticide residues in clay loam soil” [1]. A method based on QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged & Safe) for the extraction of pesticide and some metabolites residues was developed. The quantification of the chemicals was performed by a combination of two complementary LC-MS/MS and GC–MS/MS analyses. Detailed optimization data of the QuEChERS extraction method is provided, including (1) salt combination, (2) acidification of the solvent (3) the amount of the selected acid (Formic Acid, FA) and (4) moisturization of the soil samples prior to extraction. In addition, all the validation data are presented, including the matrix effect, which was evaluated for each analyte using the recommended procedure.
