Organophosphite antioxidants (OPAs) are important auxiliary used in plastic polymers and can be oxidized to organophosphate esters (OPEs) during production processing. In this work, the occurrence of OPAs OPEs farmlands with or without mulch film applications was investigated. Six five were detected, median concentrations 2.66 ng/g (∑6OPAs) 100 (∑5OPEs) film-mulching soil 1.16 47.9 nonfilm-mulching soil, respectively. The oxidative derivative AO168 (tris (2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite), a typical OPA, AO168═O phosphate) frequently detected at 0–731 ng/g, which is much higher than that commercial (0–12.1 ng/g). This suggests oxidation derivatives (OPAs═O) might OPE contaminants soils. Mulch films could their source. According simulation migration experiment, emission risk ranges from soils China estimated 3.96–87.6 10.5–95.3 tons/year, respectively, those sewage sludge applications.

By use of an integrated target, suspect, and non-target screening strategy, we investigated occurrence spatial distribution organophosphate esters (OPEs) in four types water (drinking resource water, surface groundwater, seawater) collected from Jiangsu Province (China) 2021 (n = 111). Eighteen out 23 target OPEs were detectable at least once these analyzed samples, the total concentrations (Σ18OPEs) various samples exhibited a descending order following as: groundwater (67026 ng/L) > (35803 drinking (21055 seawater (17820 ng/L). The highest concentration detected may be ascribed to pollution surrounding factories. Among OPEs, triethyl phosphate (TEP), tris(chloroethyl) (TCEP), tris (1-chloro-2-propyl) (TCIPP) most abundant congeners with average 407 ng/L, 143 475 respectively. Besides 18 further identified 17 suspect (3 them fully by authentic standards) on basis in-house OPE database, 2 organophosphates (OPs) feature fragments. One OPs was as bis(2-chloroethyl) 2-chloroethylphosphonate (B2CE2CEPP) matching retention time MS/MS data standard, other one preliminarily 2,4,8,10-tetra-tert-butyl-6-methoxydibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepin-6-one (TTBMDBDOPPO). We also observed that B2CE2CEPP shared similar structure TCEP, suggesting they have toxicological characteristics commercial sources. ecological human health risk assessments indicated all posed low or negligible aquatic organisms (algae, crustacean, fish), except for trimethyl (TMP) water.
