This study was conducted to determine organophosphate ester compounds in indoor dust in Hanoi - a populated city in Vietnam. In the study, the concentration and distribution of fifteen organophosphate esters (OPEs) were analyzed in indoor dust specimen. In general, the recorded total concentrations of OPEs in dust ranged from to g/g and the average quantities varied from to g/g. Particular, 100 % of survey samples were detected signals of OPEs, indeed, tris-(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCPP) and tris(2-butoxyethyl)phosphate (TBEP) were two of the OPE substances, which their content accounted for the most in 15 analyzed compounds. |
