Organophosphate Esters in Air and Seawater of the South China Sea: Spatial Distribution, Transport, and Air–Sea Exchange

Abstract: Organophosphate esters (OPEs) have become one group of chemicals with emerging concern in the marine environment. In this work, we investigated OPEs in the air and seawater of the South China Sea in summer 2019. The concentrations of ∑10OPEs in the atmosphere ranged from 66 to 550 pg/m3, with TCIPP, TNBP, TPhP, and TEP predominating in the air. The total dissolved OPE concentrations (∑10OPEs without TEP) measured in high-volume water samples ranged from 300 to 3600 pg/L, with a mean concentration of 1180 ± 910… Show more

“…Caprolactam, 8-hydroxyqunoline, and triclocarban were the top three content contributors, with average contributions of 60% (4.0–91%), 9.4% (0.1–43%), and 9.0% (0.2–30%), respectively (Figure C,D and Table S6). Caprolactam accounted for 61–91% in 20 samples, while in certain samples (e.g., Xinyu, Kunming, Hefei, and Shijiazhuang), chemicals like antioxidant 2,6-di tert -butylphenol, antioxidant 2246, or flame retardant triphenyl phosphate were the primary contributors. It is worth noting that our reported concentrations were mostly at comparable levels to prior findings in the same matrix, while several exhibited levels 1 order lower (e.g., 2,6-di tert -butylphenol, the highest level: 11,200 vs 376 ng/g dw) or 1–2 orders of magnitude higher (e.g., preservative ethyl paraben, the highest level: 20.0 vs 3,623 ng/g dw) (Tables S5 and S6).…”
