Nowadays, there is an increasing concern for organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) due to high production and use following the phase out and stringent regulation in the use of brominated flame retardants. OPFRs represent a group of compounds with a wide range in their polarity, solubility and persistence. OPFRs are widely used as flame retardants in various consumer products such as textiles, electronics, industrial materials and furniture to prevent the risk of fire. They are also utilized as plasticizers, antifoaming or anti-wear agents in lacquers, hydraulic fluids and floor polishing agents. The present review outlines the current state of knowledge regardimg the analytical methodology applied for their determination in wastewater and aquatic environment as well as their occurrence in water, wastewater, sediments and sludge. Knowledge gaps and future perspectives have been identified, which include the elucidation of sources, pathways and fate of OPFRs in aquatic environment and possible risks.

如今，由于在逐步淘汰溴化阻燃剂并严格管制之后，由于高产量和高使用量，有机磷酸酯阻燃剂（OPFR）引起了越来越多的关注。OPFR代表一组极性，溶解度和持久性各不相同的化合物。OPFR被广泛用作纺织品，电子产品，工业材料和家具等各种消费产品中的阻燃剂，以防止发生火灾。它们还用作漆，液压油和地板抛光剂中的增塑剂，消泡剂或抗磨剂。本综述概述了有关知识的现状，即用于测定废水中的知识的分析方法水生环境及其在水，废水，沉积物和淤泥中的存在。已经确定了知识差距和未来观点，包括阐明水生环境中OPFR的来源，途径和命运以及可能的风险。
