AB  - Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are widespread organic pollutants that could be 
      detected in various environmental matrices. In this study, a sample pretreatment 
      method was developed for the determination of 9 OPEs by automatic hollow 
      fiber-liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass 
      spectrometry (GC-MS). High sensitivity of OPEs could be achieved after 
      optimization of several important parameters with the limits of detection (LODs) 
      ranging from 2.6 to 120 ng L(-1) for different individual OPEs, and the relative 
      standard deviations (RSDs) ranged from 2.1% to 10.4%. Acceptable recoveries were 
      observed and the proposed method was then successfully applied to determine OPEs 
      in seawaters collected from 23 sampling sites of the Pearl River Estuaries in dry 
      and wet seasons, respectively. All of the OPEs could be detected, except 
      tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (TEHP). The total concentrations of 9 OPEs in 
      seawaters were ranging from 2.04 (Hemen) to 3.12 (Humen) mug L(-1) in the dry 
      season and from 1.08 (Hemen) to 2.50 (Jitimen) mugL(-1) in the wet season. By 
      using spatial interpolation method of ordinary kriging, the most polluted area of 
      SigmaOPEs was found in Humen in the dry season, while it was Jitimen in the wet 
      season. Moreover, the annual input of SigmaOPEs discharged via eight estuaries ranged 
      from 384 tons (Jitimen) to 1,225 tons (Modaomen), and the total annual input was 
      5,694 tons.
