摘要: The use of organophosphate esters (PFRs) as flame retardants and plasticizers has increased due to the ban some brominated retardants. There is however concern regarding toxicity, particularly carcinogenicity neurotoxicity, PFRs. In this study we applied wastewater analysis assess PFRs by Australian population. Influent samples were collected from eleven treatment plants (STPs) in Australia on Census day analysed for using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Per capita loads calculated accurate head counts. results indicate that tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBOEP) highest per input into followed tris(2-chloroisopropyl) (TCIPP), tris(isobutyl) (TIBP), tris(2-chloroethyl) (TCEP) tris(1,3-dichloroisopropyl) (TDCIPP). Similar PFR profiles observed across STPs a comparison European U.S. indicated similar concentrations. We estimate approximately 2.1 mg person−1 day−1 are which equates 16 tonnes annum.
