Organophosphate flame retardants and plasticizers in indoor
The use of organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) has increased due to increasingly strict regulations and bans on certain brominated FRs (for example, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD)) ( Bergman et al., 2012; Cequier et al., 2014; Dodson et al., 2014; Hartmann et al., 2004; van der Veen and de Boer,
Organophosphate flame retardants and plasticizers in indoor air
The organophosphate flame retardants are additives to polymeric materials that typically make up 1–30% of the composition with an average of 5–15% ( BAG, 2001 ). Many of the compounds studied in this investigation may also be used as plasticizers in polymers.

Organophosphate flame retardants and plasticizers in indoor air.
Nine organophosphate esters, which are commercially used as plasticizers and/or flame retardants, were identified and quantified in air samples from some common indoor work environments, i.e., an… Expand 186 Screening of organophosphorus compounds and their distribution in various indoor environments.

Organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers in air
Eleven organophosphorus compounds (OPs) that are used as plasticizers and flame retardants were analysed in duplicate samples of indoor air from 17 domestic and occupational environments. Solid-phase extraction ( SPE ) columns were used as adsorbents and analysis was performed using GC with a nitrogen phosphorus selective detector .
- Are organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers found in indoor air and dust?
- Nontarget Identification of Novel Organophosphorus Flame Retardants and Plasticizers in Indoor Air and Dust from Multiple Microenvironments in China The indoor environment is a typical source for organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers (OPFRs), yet the source characteristics of OPFRs in different microenvironments remain less clear.
- How many organophosphate flame retardants/plasticizers are there?
- The occurrence and profiles of 15 organophosphate flame retardants/plasticizers (OPFRs) (3 chlorinated [Cl-], 2 aryl-, 5 non-Cl alkyl-, and 5 other types of OPFRs) were investigated in indoor air and dust collected from various microenvironments, including homes in the Albany area of New York State, United States.
- What are organophosphate flame retardants?
- The organophosphate flame retardants are additives to polymeric materials that typically make up 1–30% of the composition with an average of 5–15% (BAG, 2001). Many of the compounds studied in this investigation may also be used as plasticizers in polymers.
- Does indoor dust affect opfr exposure?
- Indoor dust is a major exposure source for many flame retardants (de Boer et al., 2016; Dodson et al., 2012). In comparison to brominated flame retardants (Cequier et al., 2014), the contribution of indoor air to OPFR exposure was apparently higher.
- Does brominated flame retardant exposure increase the consumption of opfrs?
- The consumption of OPFRs is expected to increase in the future due to the regulations on brominated flame retardants in consumer products. Therefore, further studies are warranted to investigate the exposure of OPFRs from diverse types of consumer products and microenvironments.
- Does indoor air affect opfr exposure?
- In comparison to brominated flame retardants (Cequier et al., 2014), the contribution of indoor air to OPFR exposure was apparently higher. Schreder et al. (2016) showed that inhalation was an important exposure pathway for chlorinated alkyl OPFRs from particulates in indoor air.
