Organophosphate ester flame retardants and plasticizers in human
Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are currently used extensively as flame retardants, plasticizers, and anti-foaming agents (Brandsma et al., 2013).

A review on organophosphate esters: Physiochemical properties
Introduction. Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are derivatives of phosphoric acid and are widely used as flame retardants and plasticizers in the world because of their good physiochemical properties and excellent flame retardancy and plasticizing effects, added into a variety of commercial and industrial products, such as electronic equipment, paints, textiles, furniture, and flooring and
- What are organophosphate esters used for?
- Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are used as additives in flame retardants and plasticizers. Due to phase out of several congeners of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), the application of organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) is continuously increasing over the years. As a consequence, large amounts of OPEs enter the environment.
- Are organophosphate esters a flame retardant?
- Environ. Int., 78 ( 2015), pp. 1 - 7 Organophosphate esters (OPEs) have been widely used in various products as alternatives to brominated flame retardants. Although widespread OPE exposu…
- Are organophosphate esters affecting children's health?
- Organophosphate Esters: Are These Flame Retardants and Plasticizers Affecting Children's Health?
- Experimental animal studies demonstrate potential for OPEs to adversely impact health, and a limited number of epidemiologic studies conducted in adult cohorts suggest that OPEs may interfere with the endocrine system.
- Are there flame retardants and plasticizers in the atmosphere?
- The presence of organophosphate ester (OPE) flame retardants and plasticizers has been confirmed for the first time in the atmosphere over the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Atmospheric aerosol samp...
- Do organic phosphate esters have developmental toxicity?
- Background:Organophosphate esters (OPEs), used ubiquitously as flame retardants and plasticizers in consumer products, are suspected of having developmental toxicity.Objectives:Our study aimed to e...
- Are organophosphorus compounds used as flame retardants?
- Research gaps are concluded to define the directions and the primary emphasis of future studies. Due to the restricted use and ban of brominated flame retardants, organophosphorus compounds (OPs), extensively used as flame retardants and plasticizers, are ubiquitous in various environmental compartments worldwide.
