AB  - Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are ubiquitous in the environment, but little is 
      known about their distribution in soils. In this study, we measured 19 OPEs in 
      soil samples collected nationwide in China for the first time. Concentrations of 
      19 OPEs ( summation operatorOPEs) in soils ranged from 4.50 to 430 ng/g dry weight (dw), with a 
      median value of 36.6 ng/g dw.  summation operatorOPE concentrations in soils were significantly 
      higher in Northeastern (90.6, 19.1-180 ng/g dw; median, range) and 
      Eastern/Southern China (57.4, 7.23-430 ng/g dw), areas with high population 
      density and economic development, than those in Central (35.8, 4.80-417 ng/g dw) 
      and Western China (29.7, 4.50-228 ng/g dw). High concentrations of  summation operatorOPEs were 
      found in soils collected from sites located in the most urbanized areas of China 
      including Beijing (126 ng/g dw), Shanghai (388 ng/g dw), and Guangzhou (430 ng/g 
      dw). Chlorinated (Cl-) OPEs were the predominant compounds, accounting for over 
      74.0% of  summation operatorOPE concentrations in soils from China. In soil samples from 
      Northeastern and Eastern/Southern China, Cl-OPEs accounted for 84.3% and 92.1% of 
       summation operatorOPE concentrations, respectively. Cresyl diphenyl phosphate (CDPP) and isodecyl 
      diphenyl phosphate (IDDP), which have been less studied thus far, were also found 
      at measurable concentrations (0.15-0.40 ng/g dw) in soils. The Spearman's rank 
      correlations among major aryl-OPEs in soils were significant (Rho = 0.582-0.747, 
      p < 0.01), which suggested similar sources of environmental release of these 
      compounds. Total organic carbon (TOC) content was not correlated with the 
      concentrations of  summation operatorOPE in soils (Rho = 0.036, p > 0.05). A hazard assessment for 
      ten OPEs in soils suggested a notable risk from tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate 
      (TEHP) and trimethylphenyl phosphate (TMPP). Further studies are needed to 
      elucidate the fate of TMPP in soils.
