TI  - Compositional Analysis of Commercial Oligomeric Organophosphorus Flame Retardants 
      Used as Alternatives for PBDEs: Concentrations and Potential Environmental 
      Emissions of Oligomers and Impurities.

AB  - Four commercial oligomeric organophosphorus flame retardants (o-PFRs) were 
      characterized using a refractive index detector and atmospheric pressure 
      photoionization (APPI)-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (QTOF-MS) 
      compatible with gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Commercial o-PFRs consisted 
      of approximately 90% or more oligomers and several impurities. Triphenyl 
      phosphate (TPHP), tris(dimethylphenyl) phosphate (TDMPP), tris(2-chloroisopropyl) 
      phosphate (TCIPP), and some new impurities were identified as byproducts of some 
      manufacturing process of commercial o-PFRs for the first time. The concentrations 
      of TPHP, TDMPP, and TCIPP were more than 1 weight %, whereas those of new 
      impurities might be approximately 1 weight % by comparison among their abundances 
      acquired through GPC-APPI-QTOF-MS analysis. Based on their vapor pressure and 
      water solubility estimations, the potential environmental emissions of low 
      molecular weight impurities were expected to be higher than those of oligomers. 
      The presence and environmental emissions of low molecular weight impurities might 
      be regarded as risk factors along with commercial o-PFRs.
