Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) and tris(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCPP) are common chlorinated organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) used in industry. They have been frequently detected together in aquatic environments and associated with various hazardous effects. However, the ecological risks of prolonged exposure to these OPFRs at environmentally relevant concentrations in non-model aquatic organisms remain unexplored.

Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), a chlorinated organophosphate ester, is commonly found in aquatic environments. Due to its various toxic effects, it may pose a risk to the health of aquatic organisms. However, the potential impacts of TCEP exposure on the intestinal microbiota and hepatic function in amphibians have not been reported.

Article Synopsis
  • TCEP and TCPP are chemicals used to prevent fires, but they are causing pollution in water where tadpoles live.
  • The study tested how these chemicals affect tadpoles, finding that TCPP is more toxic than TCEP in different water conditions.
  • Most water sources were safe for tadpoles, but wastewater was more dangerous, especially with TCPP being a high risk.

The Chong'an Mustache Toad, (Pope, 1947) is a Chinese endemic species, inhabiting the mountain streams with rich vegetation in southeastern China. The first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of was assembled using the data of whole-genome sequencing. The size of the complete mitogenome for was 17,190 bp, which included 13 , 23 with two concatenated genes, 2 , a non-coding region, and a .
