This study investigates the distribution and diffusion behavior of organophosphates (OPEs) in seawater and sediment from the Yellow Sea and East China Sea, and evaluates the environmental risks.
Organophosphates (OPEs) are manmade organic pollutants that are widely used as flame retardants, plasticizers, and antifoaming and hydraulic agents. In this study, seven OPEs in seawater and sediment from the Yellow Sea and East China Sea were determined to study the distribution and diffusion behavior, and to evaluate the environmental risks. The sigma OPEs in the seawater and sediments ranged from below the method detection limit (1.0, indicating high ecological risks to aquatic organisms.
