This study evaluated the removal efficiency of OPFRs and investigated the exposure risk in tap water in Hangzhou. The results showed a decline in OPFRs concentrations after treatment, and the exposure doses were much lower than the reference dose. However, residual levels and potential risks of OPFRs in the watershed should still be a concern.
The usage of Organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs) is gradually increased as the ban on brominated flame re-tardants (BFRs) worldwide. The frequent accessibility of OPFRs in aquatic environment poses potential risk to human. Previous studies have concerned on surface water, while studies on tap water are limited. In this research, we aim to evaluate the removal efficiency of the tap water treatment process and investigate the exposure risk of OPFRs in tap water. Herein, we collected 14 samples from water source, 10 samples from water treatment plants and 47 from tap to analyze the concentrations and removal efficiency of OPFRs in Hangzhou tap water supply system. The results showed the concentrations of n-expressionry sumexpressiontion OPFRs ranged from 9.25 to 224.74 ng/L in all samples, with Tris(1-chloro-2-propyl) Phosphate (TCPP), Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), Triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), and Tributyl phosphate (TBP) being the predominant compounds. Levels of the OPFRs had a 10.0 % -50.4 % declination when compared samples after treatment with that before. The maximum exposure doses of n-expressionry sumexpressiontion OPFRs via tap water for both adults and children were much lower than the reference dose (RfD). As a result, the hazard index (HI) and the carcinogenic risk (CR) pinpointed a negligible non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk for the residents. Even so, given the pervasive usage of OPFRs, the residual levels and the potential risk of OPFRs in watershed should be continuously concerned.
