TLDR
High variability but no significant seasonal trends were observed for all five organophosphates in urban lake water samples, and TCPP was the substance with the highest median concentration in rural volcanic lakes indicating an atmospheric transport of the compound.About:

Phosphorus flame retardants: Properties, production, environmental occurrence, toxicity and analysis
Ike van der Veen,Jacob de Boer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of PFRs as potential substitutes for brominated flame retardants (BFRs) has been discussed and a number of potential alternatives for BFRs have been proposed.

Organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers: sources, occurrence, toxicity and human exposure.
Gaoling Wei,Dingqiang Li,Zhuo Muning,Yi-Shan Liao,Xie Zhenyue,Tai-Long Guo,Jun-Jie Li,Zhang Siyi,Liang Zhiquan +8 more
TL;DR: The present study shows that the release of OPs from a wide variety of commercial products and wastewater discharge might be considered as primary emission sources and that high potential of long-range atmospheric transport and persistence of OP would be responsible for their presence in various matrices on a global scale.

Endocrine disruption potentials of organophosphate flame retardants and related mechanisms in H295R and MVLN cell lines and in zebrafish
TL;DR: The results of this study showed that OPFRs could alter sex hormone balance through several mechanisms including alterations of steroidogenesis or estrogen metabolism.

Role of photoreactions in the formation of biologically labile compounds from dissolved organic matter
Mary Ann Moran,Richard G. Zepp +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a depth-integrated basis around the globe, at least 1.0 X 10 15 g C and 0.15 × 10 15g N are estimated to be available annually for utilization by planktonic microorganisms through the conversion of light absorbing fractions of dissolved organic matter to more biologically labile compounds.

Efficiency of conventional drinking-water-treatment processes in removal of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds
Paul E. Stackelberg,Jacob Gibs,Edward T. Furlong,Michael T. Meyer,Steven D. Zaugg,R. Lee Lippincott +5 more
TL;DR: Samples of water and sediment from a conventional drinking-water-treatment plant were analyzed for 113 organic compounds that included pharmaceuticals, detergent degradates, flame retardants and plasticizers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, fragrances and flavorants, pesticides and an insect repellent, and plant and animal steroids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organophosphorus flame retardants and plasticizers in water and air I. Occurrence and fate
TL;DR: Quintana et al. as discussed by the authors discussed the major processes affecting the fate of OPEs in the environment, such as sorption, volatilization and biodegradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sunlight-induced formation of dissolved gaseous mercury in lake waters.
TL;DR: A positive relationship was found between photoinduced DGM production at different times of the year and incident radiation and removal of UV B light or addition of hydrogen peroxide during incubation did not result in significant changes in DGM levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organophosphate flame retardants and plasticisers in wastewater treatment plants
J. Meyer,Kai Bester +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed two wastewater treatment plants (STP) in the Ruhr/Rhine area at different stages of the wastewater treatment process for the elimination of chlorinated and non-chlorinated organophosphorous flame retardants.
