Objective: A method for simultaneous determination of 11 kinds of organophosphorus flame retardants in fish was established by using the EMR-Lipid cleaning agent and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS).
Methods: The samples were extracted by ultrasonic with 0.5% formic acid acetonitrile solution. The lipid removal product EMR-lipid was used for lipid purification. The co-extracts were further removed by magnesium sulfate, N-propyl ethylene amine(PSA) and graphitized carbon black(GCB) purification agent. The target compounds were separated on an ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C_(18) column(100 mm×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm), detected by electrospray ionization(ESI) and positive ion multiple reaction monitoring mode, the internal standard method and external standard method are quantitatively evaluated, and external standard method was adopted.
Results: The 11 kinds of organophosphorus flame retardants had a good linear relationship in the range of 0.5-50 μg/L(tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate 0.05-5 μg/L) with r>0.999. The limits of detection were 0.004-1.029 μg/kg and the limits of quantitation were 0.012-3.094 μg/kg. The average recoveries at three spiked levels(low, medium and high) were 80.0%-111.2% with the relative standard deviations all less than 10%(n=6).
Conclusion: The method could be used for the determination of trace organophosphorus flame retardants in freshwater fish with accurate and reliable result.

Research has consistently linked exposure to particulate matter (PM) with adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular and pulmonary morbidity and mortality. Understanding the mechanisms by which PM leads to these effects on human health is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies. One aspect of PM research that has gained increased attention in the past few years is the bioaccessibility of inhaled PM-bound pollutants that have potential to cause adverse health effects.

2-Ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPHP) is a widely used organophosphorus flame retardant and plasticizer easily released into the environment. Its biological toxicity is of great concern. The lung is considered a possible target organ for EHDPHP, but currently, there are limited studies on the biotoxicity of EHDPHP in poultry lungs.

Tris (1, 3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP) is an extensively used organophosphorus flame retardant (OFR). Previous studies have suggested that it has neurotoxic effects, but the neurotoxicity mechanism is still unclear. Neural stem cells are an important in vitro model for studying the neurotoxicity mechanism of pollutants.

Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate, an extensively used organophosphorus flame retardant in consumer products, has caused pervasive environmental contamination and increased human exposure, raising concerns about its cardiotoxic potential. However, the detailed toxicological profile, particularly concerning the crucial cardiac energy metabolism, and the precise mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study in C57BL/6 J mice exposed to TCEP for 36 days at varying doses revealed cardiac dysfunction, structural abnormalities, and hypoxia.

The environmental persistence of organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) in water is becoming and environmental concern. White Rot Fungi (WRF) have proven its capability to degrade certain OPFRs such as tributyl phosphate (TBP), tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBEP), tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) and tris(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCPP). Despite this capability, there is limited knowledge about the specific pathways involved in the degradation.
