“…OPEs were found in all 17 samples with the concentrations ranging from 7 to 2005 ng/g lw. Choi et al (2022) collected lake trout from five locations in the Great Lakes between 2001 and 2017 [100]. A total of 12 of 22 OPEs were detected above the MDLs, while only 3 of them (TEP, TCPP, and TBOEP) showed high detection frequencies (>50%).…”

“…Thus far, certain research have estimated the exposure dose of OPEs through the ingestion of aquatic products. For example, Choi et al (2022) studied the lake trout from the Great Lakes and assessed the estimated daily intake (EDI) of OPEs to be in the range of 9.6-27 ng/kg body weight (bw)/day [100]. Bekele et al (2019) estimated the EDI of OPEs via wild marine fish ingestion [102].…”

Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are increasingly used as flame retardants and plasticizers in various products. Most of them are physically mixed rather than chemical bonded to the polymeric products, leading to OPEs being readily released into the surrounding environment. Due to their relatively high solubility and mobility, OPEs are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment and may pose potential hazards to human health and aquatic organisms. This review systematically summarized the fate and distribution of OPEs in the aquatic environment and the potential effects of OPEs on humans. Data analysis shows that the concentrations of OPEs vary widely in various types of aquatic environments, including surface water (range: 25–3671 ng/L), drinking water (4–719 ng/L), and wastewater (104–29,800 ng/L). The results of human exposure assessments via aquatic products and drinking water ingestion indicate that all OPEs pose low, but not negligible, risks to human health. In addition, the limitations of previous studies are summarized, and the outlook is provided. This review provides valuable information on the occurrence and distribution of OPEs in the aquatic environment.
