Study aim: "Environmental contamination by organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) and plasticizers are environmental concerns. In this study, 18 OPFRs were analyzed in sediment and bivalves collected from 50 locations along the Korean coast to assess occurrence, geographical distribution, contamination source, and bioaccumulation potential. Tris(1-chloro-2-propanyl) phosphate (TCPP) and tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (TEHP) were highly detected (> 80%) OPFRs in sediment and bivalves."
