TL;DR: A compound, highly toxic to goldfish, was found to be released from a vinyl (polyvinyl chloride) automotive upholstery fabric when the material was immersed in their water, showing neurologic intoxication and extensive histopathologic lesions.
Abstract: A compound, highly toxic to goldfish, was found to be released from a vinyl (polyvinyl chloride) automotive upholstery fabric when the material was immersed in their water. The compound, a flame retardant used in such material, was identified by specific detector gas chromatography and mass spectrometry as triphenyl phosphate. Fish exposed to the immersed fabric or pure triphenyl phosphate showed neurologic intoxication and extensive histopathologic lesions.

TL;DR: Flame retarding and plasticizing compositions for vinyl-chloride polymers comprising (i) a first phosphat ester component containing at least one C6-12 alkyl diphenyl phosphate and (ii) triphenyl phosphophosphate having proportions in the range of 1.8:1 to 5.5:1 are stable homogeneous liquids at low temperatures.
Abstract: Flame retarding and plasticizing compositions for vinyl-chloride polymers comprising (i) a first phosphat ester component containing at least one C6-12 alkyl diphenyl phosphate and (ii) triphenyl phosphate having proportions of (i) to (ii) in the range of 1.8:1 to 5.5:1 are stable homogeneous liquids at low temperatures when prepared by a process in which a phosphorus oxyhalide is reacted with an excess of an alkali metal phenate to form a mixture containing triphenyl phosphate and alkali metal phenate, and the alkali metal phenate in that mixture is reacted with a C6-12 alkyl phosphrordichloridate.
