“…Numerous pieces of evidence together indicate that melamine is adversely affecting the ecosystem and human health. In recent years, the occurrence of melamine has been reported in various environmental media, plants, animals, and humans. Moreover, the highest concentration of melamine in sewage treatment plants (STPs) ever recorded in the world was reported in China. , Due to its high detection rates (33–91%) and concentrations (>1 μg/L) in the water environment, which exceed those of most other PMT/vPvM substances, melamine is increasingly recognized as a critical pollutant of drinking water sources. …”

“…Melamine is mostly employed in commercial products in the form of resins . For a series of excellent characteristics including flame retardancy, moisture-proof, and insulation, melamine resins are widely used in various consumer products, such as surface decorative panels, adhesives, coatings, and molding compounds. , Melamine is also widely used as a wet-strength agent for paper, a flame retardant for textiles, and a high-efficiency water reducing agent for concrete. , It has been detected in building products, tableware, childcare facilities, and infant clothing. , Available studies show that melamine could hardly be removed in the wastewater treatment systems, and a large fraction emitted via water would be released into the environment . However, the current research on the emissions of melamine and other PMT substances is still in its infancy, with limited to no quantitative understandings …”

“…TA-FRs are a new group of current-use flame retardants and have now become emerging chemicals of concern. , Two well-known examples include tris­(2,3-dibromopropyl) isocyanurate (TDBP-TAZTO) and 2,4,6-tris­(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine (TTBP-TAZ). , The production and use of TDBP-TAZTO first started in the 1980s, and the annual production has been up to 500 tons since 1996 in China, which has been widely detected in Chinese environmental samples. , TTBP-TAZ has been increasingly used in plastic products and electric and electronic equipment, which was previously reported to exhibit elevated concentrations in e-waste facilities and prevalence in residential houses. ,, Other TA-FRs, mainly including melamine and its derivatives, have been found in food and human biological samples. Because China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of melamine, with its annual production up to 1.29 million tons in 2020, this raised special concern regarding kidney damage in humans, particularly for infants. , To date, previous studies, without exception, were limited to focusing on only one or a few TA-FRs in regional environments. Comprehensive screening for TA-FRs in environmental matrixes is necessary for better understanding their environmental and health risks.…”
